Bertrand Russell
“The life of Man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long. One by one, as they march, our comrades vanish form our sight, seized by the silent orders of omnipotent Death. Very brief is the time in which we can help them, in which their happiness or misery is decided. Be it ours to shed sunshine on their path, to lighten their sorrows by the balm of sympathy, to give them the pure joy of a never-tiring affection, to strengthen failing courage, to instill faith in times of despair.”
Bertrand Russell

Philip K. Dick
“I even gave up, for a while, stopping by the window of the room to look out at the lights and deep, illuminated streets. That's a form of dying, that losing contact with the city like that.”
Philip K. Dick, We Can Build You

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Round and round we spin, with feet of lead and wings of tin.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

Ljupka Cvetanova
“Everything is possible, but where can I find everything?!”
Ljupka Cvetanova, The New Land

Mark Twain
“Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
Mark Twain
