“Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.”
Frank Sinatra

Dante Alighieri
“All hope abandon, ye who enter here.”
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Inferno - Purgatorio - Paradiso

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Karl Marx got a bum rap. All he was trying to do was figure out how to take care of a whole lot of people. Of course, socialism is just “evil” now. It’s completely discredited, supposedly, by the collapse of the Soviet Union. I can’t help noticing that my grandchildren are heavily in hock to communist China now, which is evidently a whole lot better at business than we are. You talk about the collapse of communism or the Soviet Union. My goodness, this country collapsed in 1929. I mean it crashed, big time, and capitalism looked like a very poor idea.”
Kurt Vonnegut

“The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest.”

Philip K. Dick
“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”
Philip K. Dick, I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon
