“‎You're not the same as you were before," he said. You were much more... muchier... you've lost your muchness.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

“But what a weak barrier is truth when it stands in the way of an hypothesis!”
― Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

“The universe is either chaos, a convoluted dispersion, or a unified field of order and providence.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius: the New Translation

“A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skilful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well, - this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection and of sociality as a whole.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
