“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“No one remembers anything, A people of ephemeral mayflies. It's as if yesterday never happened. And no one wants to think about tomorrow. A single continuous present moment.”
― Dimitry Glukhovsky

“Evil has only the power we give it. I give you nothing. I take back. Starve. Starve. Starve”
― Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

“There was a silly damn bird called a Phoenix back before Christ, every few hundred years he built a pyre and burned himself up. He must have been first cousin to Man. But every time he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over again. And it looks like we’re doing the same thing, over and over, but we’ve got one damn thing the Phoenix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did. We know all the damn silly things we’ve done for a thousand years and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, some day we’ll stop making the goddamn funeral pyres and jumping in the middle of them. We pick up a few more people that remember, every generation.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
