“I'm a licensed private investigator and have been for quite a while. I'm a lone wolf, unmarried, getting middle-aged, and not rich. I've been in jail more than once and I don't do divorce business. I like liquor and women and chess and a few other things. The cops don't like me too well, but I know a couple I get along with. I'm a native son, born in Santa Rosa, both parents dead, no brothers or sisters, and when I get knocked off in a dark alley sometime, if it happens, as it could to anyone in my business, nobody will feel that the bottom has dropped out of his or her life.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye

“Dit Oostenrijks-Hongaarse staatsgevoel was een zo zonderling geconstrueerd iets dat het welhaast vergeefs moet lijken om het iemand uit te leggen die het niet zelf heeft meegemaakt. Het bestond bijvoorbeeld niet uit een Oostenrijks en een Hongaars deel, die elkaar, zoals men zou kunnen denken, aanvulden, maar het bestond uit een geheel en een deel, namelijk uit het Hongaars en het Oostenrijks-Hongaars staatsgevoel, en dit tweede was thuis in Oostenrijk, waardoor het Oostenrijkse staatsgevoel eigenlijk vaderlandsloos was. De Oostenrijker wam alleen in Hongarije voor, en daar als aversie; thuis noemde hij zich onderdaan van de in de Rijksraad vertegenwoordigde koninkrijken en landen der Oostenrijks-Hongaarse monarchie, wat neerkomt op een Oostenrijker plus een Hongaar minus deze Hongaar, en dat deed hij beslist niet uit enthousiasme, maar omwille van een idee dat hem tegenstond, want hij kon de Hongaren even weinig luchten als de Hongaren hem, waardoor het verband nog ingewikkelder werd.”
― Robert Musil, Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften: Erstes Buch

“A silent breeze swept away a moment, one that never can be recaptured, never can it be relived. So it is for us to cherish the moments, cherish them with all of our might. For just as an eagle in flight, they are transient, soon vanishing like the moon as day return the light.”

“As a place to start, let us use a model to explain precisely
what this ‘Great Year’ actually is. The year 2012 is the year
that marked the end of a 26,000-year cycle, ending in a
great galactic alignment that was calculated on the Mayan
calendar and results in the calendar ending on the winter
solstice (December 21st) of 2012. But what exactly is this
galactic alignment?”
