“Die Grünen haben also völlig recht, man kann ihnen nur nicht zuhören.”
― Niklas Luhmann, Protest. Systemtheorie und soziale Bewegungen.

“You see, in the beginning was the Word. And the Word was made flesh in the weave of the human universe. And only the poet can expand this universe, finding shortcuts to new realities the way the Hawking drive tunnels under the barriers of Einsteinian space/time.
To be a poet, I realized, a true poet, was to become the Avatar of humanity incarnate; to accept the mantle of poet is to carry the cross of the Son of Man, to suffer the birth pangs of the Soul-Mother of Humanity.
To be a true poet is to become God.”
― Dan Simmons, Hyperion

“The life of a poet lies not merely in the finite language-dance of expression but in the nearly infinite combinations of perception and memory combined with the sensitivity to what is perceived and remembered.”
― Dan Simmons, Hyperion

“In such seconds of decision entire futures are made.”
― Dan Simmons, Hyperion
