Isaac Asimov
“In life, unlike chess, the game continues after checkmate.”
Isaac Asimov

“The responsible left came to embrace legislative Republicanism single-mindedly, not out of fear but out of wisdom—knowing that the only way to maintain the real revolution was to accept in permanence the truth that rejecting the legitimacy of the opposition could end only in violence, real liberal republicanism being no more than the understanding that there are legitimate ideas about shaping the future of the nation other than your own.”

“Everyone has talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.”
Erica Jong

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
