Thomas Cathcart
“A man stumbles into a deep well and plummets a hundred feet before grasping a spindly root, stopping his fall. His grip grows weaker and weaker, and in his desperation he cries out, “Is there anybody up there?” He looks up, and all he can see is a circle of sky. Suddenly, the clouds part and a beam of bright light shines down on him. A deep voice thunders, "I, the Lord, am here. Let go of the root, and I will save you.” The man thinks for a moment and then yells, "Is there anybody else up there?”
― Thomas Cathcart, Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . .: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes

Anna Faversham
“They are voices from the past and their actions have echoed into our world and, unknown to them, they preserved our future.”
― Anna Faversham, Beware the Midnight Train
