Thomas More
“the way to heaven was the same from all places, and he that had no grave had the heavens still over him. ”
Thomas More, Utopia

Astrid Lindgren
“- იქნებ სინამდვილეში ეს ყველაფერი წიგნებში წერია, - თქვა კალემ.
- შენ რა, შეიშალე? - გაიოცა ანდერსმა.
- იქნებ ჩვენ სულაც არ ვარსებობთ, - ოცნებით განაგრძო კალემ, - არამედ მხოლოდ და მხოლოდ ბავშვები ვართ წიგნიდან, რომელიც ვიღაცამ შექმნა.
- ჰო, შენ შეიძლება მართლაც წიგნიდან ხარ, - გაგულისდა ანდერსი, - და სულაც არ გამიკვირდება, თუ შეცდომითა ხარ დაბეჭდილი, მაგრამ მე კი - არა, დაიმახსოვრე.
- შენ არ გესმის... - თავისას არ იშლიდა კალე, - იქნებ შენ იმ წიგნის გმირი ხარ, მე რომ შევთხზე...
- მოუსვი აქედან, - გაბრაზდა ანდერსი, - თუ ასეა, შენ ხარ ჩემი შეთხზული წიგნის გმირი და უკვე ვნანობ, რომ ოდესღაც გამოგიგონე.
- საერთოდ კი, მომშივდა, - აღიარა კალემ.”
Astrid Lindgren, Kalle Blomquist, Eva Lotte und Rasmus

Joseph Campbell
“Once we have broken free of the prejudices of our own provincially limited ecclesiastical, tribal, or national rendition of the world archetypes, it becomes possible to understand that the supreme initiation is not that of the local motherly fathers, who then project aggression onto the neighbors for their own defense. The good news, which the World Redeemer brings and which so many have been glad to hear, zealous to preach, but reluctant, apparently, to demonstrate, is that God is love, the He can be, and is to be, loved, and that all without exception are his children. Such comparatively trivial matters as the remaining details of the credo, the techniques of worship, and devices of episcopal organization (which have so absorbed the interest of Occidental theologians that they are today seriously discussed as the principal questions of religion), are merely pedantic snares, unless kept ancillary to the major teaching. Indeed, where not so kept, they have the regressive effect: they reduce the father image back again to the dimensions of the totem. And this, of course, is what has happened throughout the Christian world. One would think that we had been called upon to decide or to know whom, of all of us, the Father prefers. Whereas, the teaching is much less flattering: "Judge not, that ye be not judged." The World Savior's cross, in spite of the behavior of its professed priests, is a vastly more democratic symbol than the local flag.”
Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces

Neil Gaiman
“Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you've already lost.”
Neil Gaiman

“Deciding to wait, Scott sat down with a pint away from the bar at a corner table and lit a cigarette. The clientele in there on Sunday afternoon were the same as most other afternoons. From middle-aged to old men, drinking and cursing at the world like it was the last bus which had just left the stop without them.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree
