Carl Sagan
“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.”
Carl Sagan

Haruki Murakami
“Only where there is disillusionment and depression and sorrow does happiness arise; without the despair of loss, there is no hope.”
Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

Sara Pascoe
“Like water around rocks, people streamed around them as though this sort of interaction, noisy and involving foreigners, was nothing unusual.”
Sara Pascoe, Being a Witch, and Other Things I Didn't Ask For

“We were wasting time. She could try and arrest me and would fail.”
Murray Bailey, The Prisoner of Acre

Bryce Courtenay
“As is so often the case with a legend, every incident has two possible interpretations, the plausible and the one that is molded to suit the making of the myth. Man is a romantic at heart and will always put aside dull, plodding reason for the excitement of an enigma. As Doc had pointed out, mystery, not logic, is what gives us hope and keeps us believing in a force greater than our own insignificance.”
Bryce Courtenay, The Power of One
