Christopher Hitchens
“It's strange how the boundry between the knowing and the innocent is subconsciously patrolled.”
Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

Frank Herbert
“You don't know what it's like to hunt the future”
Frank Herbert

Christopher Hitchens
“Meanwhile the ceaseless requirements of the entertainment industry also threaten to deprive us other forms of critical style and of the means of appreciating them. To be called 'satirical' or 'ironic,' is now to be patronized in a different way. The satirist is the fast-talking cynic, and the ironist merely sarcastic or self-conscious and wised up. When a precious and irreplacable word like 'irony' has become a lazy synonym for 'anomie,' there is scant room for originality.”
Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian

August Strindberg
“Ja, herr pastor, jag förlåter dem, men icke mig själv! Att sysslolösa fruntimmer roa sig med välgörenhet, det är förlåtligt, det är bra, men att de kalla detta en vacker handling som blott är ett nöje, ett nöje större än andra genom den retelse som offentligheten, den största offentlighet som finns, nämligen publikationen i tryck, kan skänka den, det är skamligt.”
August Strindberg

Frank Herbert
“I don't like your tone, Scytale"
"And I don't like your ignorance.”
Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah
