Anthony Burgess
“Pero hermanos, este morderse las uñas acerca de la causa de la maldad es lo que me da verdadera risa. No les preocupa saber cuál es la causa de la bondad, y entonces, ¿por qué quieren averiguar el otro asunto? Si los liudos (individuos) son buenos es porque les gusta, y ni se me ocurriría interferir en sus placeres, así que lo mismo deberían hacer en el otro negocio. Y yo soy cliente del otro negocio.”
anthony burgess, A Clockwork Orange

Philip Pullman
“The intentions of a tool are what it does. A hammer intends to strike, a vise intends to hold fast, a lever intends to lift. They are what it is made for. But sometimes a tool may have other uses that you don’t know. Sometimes in doing what you intend, you also do what the knife intends, without knowing.”
Philip Pullman, The Amber Spyglass

Abraham   Verghese
“To see the miraculous in the ordinary is a more precious gift than prophecy.”
Abraham Verghese, The Covenant of Water

Mikhail Bulgakov
“Yes, man is mortal, but that would still be just a minor problem. The bad thing is that he’s sometimes suddenly mortal, and that’s the whole point! And he can’t possibly say what he’s going to be doing the same evening.”
Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

Friedrich Nietzsche
“The maturity of man—that means, to have reacquired the seriousness that one had as a child at play”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
