Sara Pascoe
“She peeped through one of the small holes in the outer wall rising up from the walkway. The world on the outside was nothing but countryside now. Dirt roads, like chocolate ribbons, disappeared into woods or green fields in the distance.”
Sara Pascoe, Being a Witch, and Other Things I Didn't Ask For

Jostein Gaarder
“ربما كانت هناك طرق كثيره للصعود من الوادي إلى قمة الجبل.. لكن الجبل سيظل دائماً الجبل نفسه, لا يتغير أبداً.. و لابد أن يكون بيني و بينك تشابه كبير حتى نستطيع الوصول إلى قمة الجبل... فمثلاً, لابد أن يكون كل منا من متسلقي الجبال و هناك على القمه.. قد نبني معاً بنياناً ضخماً من الحجاره.. ثم نجلس لنرتاح عليه قليلاً بعد هذا الجهد الذي بذلناه... و ننسى و لو لفتره قصيره همومنا كلها كبيرها و صغيرها..كأننا تركناها كلها وراءنا في الوادي
قلت: هل تعني أننا قد التقينا على الجبل نفسه.. مع إنني أتيت من كوكب و أتيت أنت من كوكب آخر؟

فأومأ برأسه موافقاً و قال: لا يهم اختلاف المكان الذي انطلقنا منه.. إنما المهم حقاً, هو الهدف الذي نسعى إليه”
Jostein Gaarder, Hello? Is Anybody There?

Paramahansa Yogananda
“We are all made in the image of God, beings of immortal consciousness cloaked in diaphanous heavenly light—a heritage buried beneath the cloddish flesh. That heritage we can only acknowledge by meditation. There is no other way—not by reading books, not by philosophical study, but by devotion and continuous prayer and scientific meditation that uplifts the consciousness to God.”
Paramahansa Yogananda, The Yoga of Jesus: Understanding the Hidden Teachings of the Gospels

Philip K. Dick
“…we all lie to ourselves; we tell our own selves more lies than we ever do other people.”
Philip K. Dick, Counter-Clock World

Steven Decker
“Emily kept telling herself this was inevitable, that it was why she’d come to Ireland: to see what her dreams led to. But seeing the man caused goosebumps to rise up on her skin, as if she were seeing a ghost. Her extremities began to tingle, and she felt the blood draining from her face.”
Steven Decker, Projector for Sale
