L.J. Smith
“Why do people always assume that volume will succeed when logic won’t? - Damon”
L.J. Smith, Nightfall

Milan Kundera
“It does take great maturity to understand that the opinion we are arguing for is merely the hypothesis we favor, necessarily imperfect, probably transitory, which only very limited minds can declare to be a certainty or a truth.”
Milan Kundera, Encounter
