Jerome K. Jerome
“It is very strange, this domination of our intellect by our digestive organs. We cannot work, we cannot think, unless our stomach wills so. It dictates to us our emotions, our passions. After eggs and bacon it says, "Work!" After beefsteak and porter, it says, "Sleep!" After a cup of tea (two spoonfuls for each cup, and don't let it stand for more than three minutes), it says to the brain, "Now rise, and show your strength. Be eloquent, and deep, and tender; see, with a clear eye, into Nature, and into life: spread your white wings of quivering thought, and soar, a god-like spirit, over the whirling world beneath you, up through long lanes of flaming stars to the gates of eternity!”
Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat

Sophocles
“There is no happiness where there is no wisdom...”
Sophocles, Antigone

Newton Lee
“Dictatorship of the majority over the minority would be an encroachment on the rights of the individual and their prerogative to personal freedom.”
Newton Lee, Facebook Nation: Total Information Awareness

Edwin A. Abbott
“Either this is madness or it is Hell.” “It is neither,” calmly replied the voice of the Sphere, “it is Knowledge; it is Three Dimensions: open your eye once again and try to look steadily.”
Edwin A. Abbott, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

Lee Matthew Goldberg
“I watched him spread out his arms with a smile before he crashed through the table in a beautiful crescendo, the glass sounding like tinkles from a piano as its shavings glittered across the floor and sliced through his face and body.”
Lee Matthew Goldberg, Slow Down
