John William Tuohy
“Sometimes in the midst of our darkest moments it’s easy to forget that it’s up to us to turn on the light, but that’s what I did. I switched on the light, the light of cognizance.”

Fernando Pessoa
“On certain days, in certain moments, brought to me by I don't know what breeze and opened to me by the opening of I don't know what door, I suddenly feel that the corner grocer is a thinking entity, that his assistant, who at this moment is bent over a sack of potatoes next to the entrance, is truly a soul capable of suffering.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Giorgio Agamben
“Those who realize that the house is burning can be led to look with disdain and contempt upon their peers who seem not to realize it. And yet won’t these people who do not see and do not think be precisely the lemurs to whom you will have to answer on the last day? Realizing that the house is burning does not raise you above the others: on the contrary, they are the ones with whom you will have to exchange a last glance when the flames draw nearer. What will you be able to say to justify your supposed conscience to these people who are so unknowing that they almost seem innocent?”
Giorgio Agamben, When the House Burns Down: From the Dialect of Thought
