    George Carlin
    “Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

    But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!”
    George Carlin

    Lajos Zilahy
    “Samo nam ljudsko biće može podariti potpunu iluziju sigurnosti. Samo glas, pogled i dodir ruke jednog čoveka deluju kao utešna poruka iz svemira u kome smo mi tako sićušni. Ovaj čovek može da nam bude prijatelj, lekar, ređe kakav rođak, ali bez izuzetka to je uvek osoba koja nas voli. Strasna ljubav je kao uveličavajuće staklo, koje prikazuje vrednosti u nama za koje nismo ni slutili. Razbije li se uveličavajuće staklo, oplakaćemo gubitak optičke iluzije o sebi.”
    Lajos Zilahy, The Angry Angel

    Neil Gaiman, American Gods

    John  Williams
    “In his extreme youth Stoner had thought of love as an absolute state of being to which, if one were lucky, one might find access; in his maturity he had decided it was the heaven of a false religion, toward which one ought to gaze with an amused disbelief, a gently familiar contempt, and an embarrassed nostalgia. Now in his middle age he began to know that it was neither a state of grace nor an illusion; he saw it as a human act of becoming, a condition that was invented and modified moment by moment and day by day, by the will and the intelligence and the heart.”
    John Williams, Stoner
