“This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification. Seen so, war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one's will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence.War is god.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“We earth men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things.” “Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.” “There was a smell of Time in the air tonight".”
