Isaac Asimov
“Balcy had left the City and could not re-enter. The City was
no longer his; the Caves of Steel were alien. This had to be; and
it would be so for others and Earth would be bom again and reach
outwards.

His heart beat madly and the noise of life about him sank to an
unheard murmur.

He remembered his dream on Solaria and he understood it at
last. He lifted his head and he could see through all the steel and
concrete and humanity above him. He could see the beacon set in
space to lure men outwards. He could see it shining down — the
naked sun.”
Isaac Asimov, The Naked Sun

Greg Egan
“This is what it means to be human: slaughtering the people we might have been. Metaphor or reality, abstract quantum formalism or flesh-and-blood truth, there’s nothing I can do to change it.”
Greg Egan, Quarantine

Carl Sagan
“The cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths; of exquisite interrelationships; of the awesome machinery of nature. The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore we've learned most of what we know. Recently we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can. Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”
Carl Sagan

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Suckers try to win arguments, nonsuckers try to win.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder

Percy Bysshe Shelley
“To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite;
To forgive wrongs darker than death or night;
To defy power which seems omnipotent;
To love, and bear; to hope till Hope creates
From its own wreck the thing it contemplates

Life may change, but it may fly not;
Hope may vanish, but can die not;
Truth be veiled, but still it burneth;
Love repulsed -but it returneth.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley, Prometheus Unbound
