George Orwell
“It was curious to think that the sky was the same for everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under the sky were also very much the same -- everywhere, all over the world, hundreds or thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another's existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the same.”
George Orwell, 1984

Epictetus
“Who then is invincible? The one who cannot be upset by anything outside their reasoned choice.”
Epictetus, The Golden Sayings of Epictetus

Oscar Wilde
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
Oscar Wilde

Mahatma Gandhi
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Samuel Beckett
“Art has nothing to do with clarity, does not dabble in the clear and does not make clear”
Samuel Beckett
