Blaise Pascal
“All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées

Joseph Conrad
“I don't like work--no man does--but I like what is in the work--the chance to find yourself. Your own reality--for yourself not for others--what no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means.”
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

Frank Herbert
“When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Hugh Howey
“Killing a man should be harder than waving a length of pipe in their direction. It should take long enough for one's conscience to get in the way.”
Hugh Howey, The Unraveling

Frank Herbert
“The meeting between ignorance and knowledge, between brutality and culture - it begins in the dignity with which we treat the dead”
Frank Herbert, Dune
