Daniel Quinn
“The relevant measures are not ease and difficulty. The relevant measures are readiness and unreadiness. If the time isn’t right for a new idea, no power on earth can make it catch on, but if the time is right, it will sweep the world like wildfire.”
Daniel Quinn, The Story of B: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit

Aravind Adiga
“An Indian Revolution?
No Sir. It won't happen. People in this country are still waiting for the war of their freedom from somewhere else - from jungles, from the mountains, from China, from Pakistan. That will never happen.”
Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

“Maybe it’s seventy years in the future and you found this book in a stack of junk being used to block the entrance of an abandoned Starbucks that is now a feeding station for the alien militia. If that’s the case, I have some questions for you. Such as: “Did we really ruin the environment as much as we thought?” and “Is Glee still a thing?”
Tina Fey, Bossypants

Dave Eggers
“No. There is no balance, and no retribution, and no rules. The rules and balances you blather about are hopeful creations of a man fearing death.”
Dave Eggers, You Shall Know Our Velocity!

Umberto Eco
“لعلها شيخوختي الحالية هي التي تجعلني أشعر - وأنا آثم في ذلك - بأن كل ما عشته في شبابي كان جميلاً وصالحاً .”
Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose
