“To those like the misguided; look at the story of Man, and come to your senses! It
is not the destination, but the trip that matters. What you do today influences tomorrow, not the other way around. Love Today, and seize All Tomorrows!”
Nemo Ramjet, All Tomorrows: The Myriad Species and Mixed Fortunes of Man

“There is no solace above or below. Only us – small, solitary, striving, battling one another. I pray to myself, for myself.”
Frank Underwood, House of Cards

Yanis Varoufakis
“When economists insist that they too are scientists because they use mathematics, they are no different from astrologists protesting that they are just as scientific as astronomers because they also use computers and complicated charts.”
Yanis Varoufakis, Talking to My Daughter About the Economy: A Brief History of Capitalism

“History is earned. You win the day, and then you win the day after, and you do the same thing every day until you’re dead. And you’re remembered not for the winning, but because you never lost.”
Frank Underwood, House of Cards

Peter Wessel Zapffe
“Despite his new eyes, man was still rooted in matter, his soul spun into it and subordinated to its blind laws. And yet he could see matter as a stranger, compare himself to all phenomena, see through and locate his vital processes. He comes to nature as an unbidden guest, in vain extending his arms to beg conciliation with his maker: Nature answers no more, it preformed a miracle with man, but later did not know him”
Peter Wessel Zapffe, The Last Messiah
