    William L. Shirer
    “Здесь, в этом доме, до прошлого месяца царили уверенность, определенный комфорт, респектабельность; безделушки для этого дома собирались всю жизнь. Этот дом и есть чья-то жизнь. А потом - бабах! Бомбардировщики, снаряды. И эта жизнь, подобно домам вокруг, разлетается вдребезги. Уверенность, респектабельность, надежды испарились в один миг. И вы со своей женой, а может быть, и с детьми бредете вдоль дороги, жаждущие глотка воды, словно животные или, в лучшем случае, - кто бы мог представить это месяц назад, - словно пещерные люди.”
    ― William L. Shirer

    “I can’t do more than this. Don’t ask me. If you ask, I’ll try and I’ll fail. You’ll end up hating me. And I’d rather die . . . than have you hate me. Or disappoint you. My own darkness, it still chips away at me.”

    K. Ritz
    “It does little good to regret a choice. So often people say, “If only I had known,” implying they would’ve acted differently in a given situation. It is true that desires of the moment can blind one’s sight of the future. Revenge is not as sweet as the adage claims. Yet who could pass a chance to taste it? And if the chance were allowed to slip by, would the fool regret his lack of action? ”

    Susan Rowland
    “Mary stared at the dreamlike happenings on the page. Human figures faced each other; the man’s head was a golden ball with rays reaching up to huge stars and out to the distant mountains; the woman’s silver head was sickle-shaped and surrounded by birds like eagles with white beaks. Some of the black letters glowed because they had tips like tiny flames.”

    “I used to be really into these when I was a kid,” Nine says. “Now I’m more into the real thing. You want to join us?”
    Five raises an eyebrow. “The real thing? We’re going to go kill some soldiers in um—?” He squints at the open case for the video game. “World War Two. I guess my Earth history must be spotty because I thought that was all over.”
    “We’re going to train,” Nine replies, unamused. “From what I heard about Arkansas, it sounds like your game could use some work.”

    Carl Sagan
    “We are the local embodiment of a Cosmos grown to self-awareness. We have begun to contemplate our origins: starstuff pondering the stars; organized assemblages of ten billion billion billion atoms considering the evolution of atoms; tracing the long journey by which, here at least, consciousness arose. Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring.”

    Ernest Cline
    “Some people define themselves by railing against all of the things they hate, while explaining why everyone else should hate it too. But not me. I prefer to lead with my love– to define myself through joyous yawps of admiration, instead of cynical declarations of disdain.”
    ― Ernest Cline, Ready Player Two
