“Does it matter to you how I feel?
Not exactly, sweetheart - feelings are seventh on my list. Food. Shelter. Security. Intelligence. Strength. Productivity.
First and foremost, I care that you eat, everyday. Second, I care that you have somewhere to live; third, I care that you're safe. Fourth, I care that you are intelligent, and your mind is trained to solve the problems of your life. Fifth, I care that you're strong, because the world is hard. And sixth, I care that you're productive - I want you to contribute to the human family. And I believe that if you have all of those things, they will add up to you feeling great. I believe that if I take care of one through six, number seven will take care of itself.”
― Will Smith, Will

“Historically, the most dangerous men on earth were men of God … especially when their gods became threatened.”

“You cannot avoid the interplay of politics within an orthodox religion. This power struggle permeates the training, educating and disciplining of the orthodox community. Because of this pressure, the leaders of such a community inevitably must face that ultimate internal question: to succumb to complete opportunism as the price of maintaining their rule, or risk sacrificing themselves for the sake of the orthodox ethic.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“نمی خواهم پیروانی داشته باشم. به گمانم از فرط بد اندیشی، خود را نیز باور ندارم... ترسم از این است که روزی مرا مقدس بخوانند... نمی خواهم قدیس باشم، حتی دلقک بودن را بیشتر می پسندم... شاید هم دلقک باشم...”
― جی.کی. رولینگ
