“Civilizations have always been pyramidal in structure. As one climbs toward the apex of the social edifice, there is increased leisure and increasing opportunity to pursue hapiness. As one climbs, one finds also fewer and fewer people to enjoy this more and more. Invariably, there is a preponderance of the dispossessed. And remember this, no matter how well off the bottom layers of the pyramid might be on an absolute scale, they are always dispossessed in comparison with the apex.”
― Isaac Asimov, The Naked Sun

“I need, therefore I imagine.”
― Carlos Fuentes

“All is transient. Even bo trees cannot last.”
― Paolo Bacigalupi, The Windup Girl
