“You don’t really buy into that, do you? People talk about the divide in this country as though we were standing on opposite sides of a chasm. When the reality is we’re all standing over the chasm, as if on a bridge. You’re never going to get everyone to cross to one side or the other. Some people can’t accept that. If they can’t get everyone to their side, they’d rather blow up the bridge. Then there’s nothing. Just a void we plunge into.”
― Elliot Ackerman, 2054: A Novel

“You should only read what is truly good or what is frankly bad.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

“Some say it is best not to go near the center of time. Life is a vessel of sadness, but it is noble to live life, and without time there is no life. Others disagree. They would rather have an eternity of contentment, even if that eternity were fixed and frozen, like a butterfly mounted in a case.”
― Alan Lightman, Einstein's Dreams
