William Edward Hartpole Lecky
“At one time the benevolent affections embrace merely the family, soon the circle expanding includes first a class, then a nation, then a coalition of nations, then all humanity, and finally, its influence is felt in the dealings of man with the animal world.”
William Edward Hartpole Lecky, History of European Morals

Thomas Nagel
“It might seem there could be no form of thought about your own death except either an external view, in which the world is pictured as continuing after your life stops, or an internal view that sees only this side of death—that includes only the finitude of your expected future consciousness. But this is not true. There is also something that can be called the expectation of nothingness, and though the mind tends to veer away from it, it is an unmistakable experience, always startling, often frightening, and very different from the familiar recognition that your life will go on for only a limited time—that you probably have less than thirty years and certainly less than a hundred.”
Thomas Nagel, The View From Nowhere

Julian Barnes
“You put together two people who have not been put together before; and sometimes the world is changed, sometimes not. They may crash and burn, or burn and crash. But sometimes, something new is made, and then the world is changed. Together, in that first exaltation, that first roaring sense of uplift, they are greater than their two separate selves. Together, they see further, and they see more clearly.”
Julian Barnes, Levels of Life

Philip Glass
“If you don’t know what to do, there’s actually a chance of doing something new. As long as you know what you’re doing, nothing much of interest is going to happen.”
Philip Glass, Words Without Music: A Memoir

Julian Barnes
“People say of death, 'There’s nothing to be frightened of.' They say it quickly, casually. Now let’s say it again, slowly, with re-emphasis. 'There’s NOTHING to be frightened of.' Jules Renard: “The word that is most true, most exact, most filled with meaning, is the word "nothing"'.”
Julian Barnes, Nothing to Be Frightened Of
