Book cover for Fall; or, Dodge in Hell
“Pascal once said that you should believe in God because, if you turned out to be wrong, you weren’t losing anything, and if you turned out to be right, the reward was infinite,”
Andrew Cook
Pascal's Wager

Dan Rather
“Orwell understood that a government that is beyond the reach of accountability has little incentive to tell the truth. Indeed, its power may arise from the obliteration of objective facts. In the world of 1984, contradictory statements lose all sense of context and we are left with preposterous slogans: “War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength.” And yet Orwell asks us, if there is no one with the power to call out a lie as a lie, does it end up ceasing to be a lie?”
Dan Rather, What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism

Andrzej Sapkowski
“The time of lurching blindly towards the horizon is over, for now there might be something just over the horizon. The time for decisive action has arrived. Time for throats to be cut. For at last there’s someone to attack. Those who haven’t understood till now, let them understand–we finally have a clear-cut enemy within reach.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Tower of Swallows

Andrzej Sapkowski
“Verily, great self-righteousness and great blindness are needed to call the gore pouring from the scaffold justice. Vysogota of Corvo”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Tower of the Swallow

George Orwell
“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.”
George Orwell, 1984

Frank Herbert
“The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.”
Frank Herbert, Dune
