George R.R. Martin
“Jon, did you ever wonder why the men of the Night's Watch take no wives and father no children?'' Maester Aemon asked.

Jon shrugged. ''No.'' He scattered more meat. The fingers of his left hand were slimy with blood and his right throbbed from the weight of the bucket. ''So they will not love'' the old man answered ''for love is the bane of honor, the death of duty”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

David Grann
“Fawcett could never take the final leap of a modern anthropologist and accept that complex civilizations were capable of springing up independently of each other.”
David Grann, The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon

“You are either supporting the vision or supporting division”

Romain Gary
“Your generation is suffering from what for lack of a better word I shall call over-debunk. There was a lot of debunking that had to be done, of course. Bigotry, militarism, nationalism, religious intolerance, hypocrisy, phonyness, all sorts of dangerous, ready-made, artificially preserved false values. But your generation and the generation before yours went too far with their debunking job. You went overboard. Over-debunk, that's what you did. It's moral overkill. It's like those insecticides Rachel Carson speaks of in her book, that poison everything, and kill all the nice, useful bugs as well as the bad ones, and in the end poison human beings as well. In the end, it poisons life itself, the very air we breathe. That's what you did, morally and intellectually speaking. Yours is a silent spring. You have overprotected yourselves. You are all no more than twenty, twenty-two years old, but yours is a silent spring, I'm telling you. Nothing sings for you any more.”
Romain Gary, خداحافظ گاری کوپر

Washington Irving
“A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all.”
Washington Irving
