“Happy is not the right word. This world is not a place where we can be happy. It wasn’t created for man’s happiness, though many believe this is the reason of our existence. I think we are here to fight, so that good and evil can clash within us, and good may prevail, thus enriching us spiritually. It’s difficult to say whether we are happy or not: it doesn’t depend on us… There are times when one regrets being born, but life also gives us surprising things that, alone, are worth living. The issue of happiness doesn’t exist for me: happiness as such doesn’t exist.”
― Andrei Tarkovsky

“There is no greater equaliser than the stupidity of men, especially when those men have power.”
― Dario Fo

“Sometimes we need someone, sometimes no one, and sometimes we need someone and no one.”
― Thomas Bernhard, Concrete

“Science explains the world, but only Art can reconcile us to it. What do we really know about the origin of the Universe? A blank so wide can be filled with myths and legends.”
― Stanisław Lem, The Three Electroknights
