“To lose a brother is to lose someone with whom you can share the experience of growing old, who is supposed to bring you a sister-in-law and nieces and nephews, creatures who people the tree of your life and give it new branches. To lose your father is to lose the one whose guidance and help you seek, who supports you like a tree trunk supports its branches. To lose your mother, well, that is like losing the sun above you. It is like losing--I'm sorry, I would rather not go on.”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“Perhaps consciousness arises when the brain's simulation of the world becomes so complex that it must include a model of itself.”
― Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

“Any woman who is sure of her own wits is a match at any time for a man who is not sure of his own temper.”
― Wilkie Collins, The Woman in White

“You know, you're kind of squeamish for such a lethal person”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
