The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite.”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen

“Time is what stops history happening at once; time is the speed at which the past disappears.”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“Hungry man, reach for the book: it is a weapon.”
― Bertolt Brecht
