“But 
if 
there 
was 
hope, 
it 
lay 
in 
the 
proles. 
You 
had
 to 
cling 
on 
to 
that. 
When 
you 
put 
it 
in 
words 
it
 sounded
 reasonable; 
it 
was 
when 
you 
looked 
at 
the
 human 
beings 
passing 
you 
on 
the 
pavement 
that 
it
 became 
an
 act 
of
 faith.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“The businessman who wishes to gain a market by throttling a superior competitor, the worker who wants a share of his employer's wealth, the artist who envies a rival's higher talent - they're all wishing facts out of existence and destruction is the only means of their wish. If they pursue it, they will not achieve a market, a fortune, or an immortal fame - they will merely destroy production”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

“Do not, under any circumstances, belittle a work of fiction by trying to turn it into a carbon copy of real life; what we search for in fiction is not so much reality but the epiphany of truth.”
― Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books

“The stars, like dust, encircle me
In living mists of light;
And all of space I seem to see
In one vast burst of sight”
― Isaac Asimov, The Stars, Like Dust
