Martin Heidegger
“Sartre expresses the basic tenet of existentialism in this way: Existence precedes essence. In this statement he is taking existentia and essentia according to their metaphysical meaning, which from Plato's time on has said that essentia precedes existentia. Sartre reverses this statement. But the reversal of a metaphysical statement remains a metaphysical statement. With it he stays with metaphysics in oblivion of the truth of Being.”
Martin Heidegger, Basic Writings

Miguel Ruiz
“Love for yourself is the key to loving other. Love begins with you.”
Miguel Ruiz, Prayers: A Communion with Our Creator

Max Nowaz
“Get up you lazy bastard. The Governor wants a word with you,” said a guard. 
He opened his eyes and smiled. There was another guard standing near the cell door in 
anticipation of any trouble. The prisoner smiled at him, too. 
Now what can the Governor want from me? He wondered. His dishevelled form seemed 
incapable of coherent thought. “It’s nice of him to remember me,” he said aloud, trying to 
concentrate.
“Surprising he’s got any time for a worthless shit like you,” said the first guard. 
“I once used to be a very important person,” the prisoner said feebly.”
Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

A.R. Merrydew
“     The morgue was the name the human workers gave to this room in the facility. They were careful not to utter it in front of the androids, for fear of offending them.”
Anthony Merrydew, The Girl with the Porcelain Lips

Jules Verne
“Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.”
Jules Verne, Around the World in Eighty Days
