Cormac McCarthy
“His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

Friedrich Nietzsche
“You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Cormac McCarthy
“It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

Ayn Rand
“She did not know the nature of her loneliness. The only words that named it were: This is not the world I expected.”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Bede
“If history records good things of good men, the thoughtful hearer is encouraged to imitate what is good: or if it records evil of wicked men, the devout, religious listener or reader is encouraged to avoid all that is sinful and perverse and to follow what he knows to be good and pleasing to God.”
Bede, Ecclesiastical History of the English People
