Christopher Hitchens, Mortality

George Orwell
“It is one of the tragedies of the half-educated that they develop late, when they are already committed to some wrong way of life.”
George Orwell, Burmese Days

William Shakespeare
“Sometimes when we are labeled, when we are branded our brand becomes our calling.”
William Shakespeare, Macbeth

William Shakespeare
“The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we thank as love.”
William Shakespeare, Macbeth

Jonathan Nolan
“Here's the truth: People, even regular people, are never just any one person with one set of attributes. It's not that simple. We're all at the mercy of the limbic system, clouds of electricity drifting through the brain. Every man is broken into twenty-four-hour fractions, and then again within those twenty-four hours. It's a daily pantomime, one man yielding control to the next: a backstage crowded with old hacks clamoring for their turn in the spotlight. Every week, every day. The angry man hands the baton over to the sulking man, and in turn to the sex addict, the introvert, the conversationalist. Every man is a mob, a chain gang of idiots.”
Jonathan Nolan, Memento Mori
