Maurice Maeterlinck
“We all live in the sublime. Where else can we live? That is the only place of life.”
Maurice Maeterlinck, The Treasure of the Humble

Robin Hobb
“Honour and courtesy and justice...they are not real, Fitz. We all pretend to them, and hold them to us like shields. But they guard only against folk who carry the same shields. Against those who have discarded them, they are no shields at all, but only additional weapons to use against their victims.”
Robin Hobb, Assassin's Quest

Ann Leckie
“When they behave properly, you will say there is no problem. When they complain loudly, you will say they cause their own problems with their impropriety. And when they are driven to extremes, you say you will not reward such actions. What will it take for you to listen?”
Ann Leckie, Ancillary Sword

Hanny Michaelis
“Over the years
a great deal has to be thrown out.
The notion, for instance,
that happiness is mild and enduring,
something like a southern climate
instead of a bolt of lightning
that leaves scars
cherished a lifetime.”
Hanny Michaelis, Verzamelde gedichten

Errico Malatesta
“We too aspire to communism as the most perfect achievement of human solidarity, but it must be anarchist communism, that is, freely desired and accepted, and the means by which the freedom of everyone is guaranteed and can expand; for these reasons we maintain that State communism, which is authoritarian and imposed, is the most hateful tyranny that has ever afflicted, tormented and handicapped mankind.”
Errico Malatesta, Errico Malatesta: His Life and Ideas
