Cormac McCarthy
“The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

Bram Stoker
“Remember my friend, that knowledge is stronger than memory, and we should not trust the weaker”
Bram Stoker, Dracula

“Daytime sleep is like the sin of the flesh; the more you have the more you want, and yet you feel unhappy, sated and unsated at the same time.”
Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

Umberto Eco
“Love is wiser than wisdom.”
Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

Umberto Eco
“Books are not made to be believed, but to be subjected to inquiry. When we consider a book, we mustn't ask ourselves what it says but what it means...”
