“If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

“Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It's like the tide going out, revealing whatever's been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fishbodies, bones. This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes, not knowing the future.”
― Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye

“          Embrace diversity.           Unite—           Or be divided,           robbed,           ruled,           killed           By those who see you as prey.           Embrace diversity           Or be destroyed.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

“Nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace
