“...મંજરીએ પીરસવા માંડયું, અને રુદ્રદત્ત અને મણીભદ્રે આરોગવા માંડયું.
માનિનીની મોહિની સામાન્ય રીતે ન્યારી જ હોય છે, તે રીઝવે ત્યારે દુર્જય થઈ પડે છે,પણ તે હાથે પીરસી જમાડે ત્યારે પૂછવું શું? મણિભદ્ર અડધો બેભાન થઈ ગયો, મંજરીના આગ્રહ આગળ મિષ્ટાન્નની માજા પણ તે વિસરી ગયો, નવયૌવનમાં મહાલી રહેલી મંજરીના હાવભાવ આગળ પેટમાં જગા છે કે નહીં તેનું ભાન પણ ભૂલી ગયો. બ્રાહ્મણવર્ય મણીભદ્રે સાધેલા જીવનયોગમાં એક પરમ ધ્યેય હતું — સ્વાદિષ્ટ મોદક. અત્યારે તે યોગેશ્વર યોગભ્રષ્ટ થયો — ભાણામાં લાડુ હતા છતાં મંજરી સામે જોઈ રહેવા લાગ્યો.

મંજરીને પણ આ વખતે તેની ખીલતી જુવાનીમાં રહેલા પ્રબળ જાદુનું ભાન થયું, અને પોતાની અપ્રતીમ શક્તિનું જ્ઞાન પામેલા મહારથીના મદથી તે પોતાના પ્રભાવની અજમાયશ કરી રહી. તેણે રુદ્રદત્તની સહાયથી મણિભદ્રને મોહાંધ કર્યો. મણિભદ્ર બિચારો લટ્ટુ થઈ રહ્યો.”
K.M. Munshi, The Master of Gujarat

Eliezer Yudkowsky
“Why are you so driven? What is the real reason you must not go to Hufflepuff and be happier there? What is your true fear?"

I must achieve my full potential. If I don't I... fail...

"What happens if you fail?"

Something terrible...

"What happens if you fail?"

I don't know!

"Then it should not be frightening. What happens if you fail?"

I DON'T KNOW! BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S BAD!

There was silence for a moment in the caverns of Harry's mind.

"You know - you aren't letting yourself think it, but in some quiet corner of your mind you know just exactly what you aren't thinking - you know that by far the simplest explanation for this unverbalisable fear of yours is just the fear of losing your fantasy of greatness, of disappointing the people who believe in you, of turning out to be pretty much ordinary, of flashing and fading like so many other child prodigies...”
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

“Things didn’t go exactly as planned, but I’m not dead, so it’s a win.”
Andy Weir, The Martian

Eliezer Yudkowsky
“Dinner passed with surprising rapidity. Harry tried to sample at least a little of all the weird new foods he saw. His curiosity couldn't stand the thought of not knowing how something tasted. Thank goodness this wasn't a restaurant where you had to order only one thing and you never found out what all the other things on the menu tasted like. Harry hated that, it was like a torture chamber for anyone with a spark of curiosity: Find out about only one of the mysteries on this list, ha ha ha!”
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

“મંજરી પાણી કાઢતી હતી. તેના માથા પરથી ઓઢણી ખસી જઈ તેનો અંબોડો અને ડોકની ભભક, ઊંચાનીચા થતા હાથનું સૌંદર્ય, તેથી સંતાકૂકડી કરતાં સ્તનની અપૂર્વતા — બન્ને આવનારની નજરે પડયું. બન્ને મહાત થયા — વિનયશીલ રુદ્રદત્તે ગુરુની દૌહિત્રીના રૂપ આગળ આંખો નમાવી, અડભંગ મણિભદ્ર બેબાકળો થઈ ડોળા ફાડી જોઈ રહ્યો.”
K.M. Munshi, The Master of Gujarat
