Taken as a story of human achievement, and human blindness, the discoveries in the sciences are among the great epics. Robert Oppenheimer

L.T. Vargus
“I think maybe what exists beyond this world is just energy, you know? Nothing more. Nothing less. Because physics tells us that energy is infinite. It cannot be created or destroyed. So I guess I think we all go back to where we came from. The force that animates us, I guess you could say. We go back to the well of where that life comes from, and we're no longer separate from each other the way we are here on this plane. No longer animals. Reduced to that essence of life, reduced to energy. And all the drama we experience here is over, the conflict, all the territorial battling we do is rendered meaningless. We are no longer burdened with these concerns of power or control. We simply exist. Maybe that's heaven.”
L.T. Vargus, Beyond Good & Evil

“what may be the oldest analogy ever recorded, from around 1350 B.C., the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaton was said to have observed: As the moon retains her nature,
though darkness spread itself before her face as a curtain,
so the Soul remains perfect
even in the bosom of the fool.”
Mardy Grothe, I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like: A Comprehensive Compilation of History’s Greatest Analogies, Metaphors, and Similes

A.G. Riddle
“We all share a common affliction. It affects some of us more than others. From birth, our brains are wired with this defect—and for one good reason: it increases our chances of survival. The problem is uncertainty, and specifically how our brains deal with it. Our brains crave certainty because only in certainty can we know that we are safe and that those we love will be safe. In times of great uncertainty, that survival instinct drives us to achieve certainty. In doing so, the brain can overreact. It can malfunction. It can drive us to act, even in times when the right thing to do is wait.”
A.G. Riddle, The Lost Colony

A.G. Riddle
“Only a friend who knows me in the way Oscar did would have thought of this. I think the best gift a person can receive is one they can use to achieve happiness for themselves year after year. In another life, these were the tools of my life’s work. I used these to build homes for my family and friends, homes that changed their lives, saw them through the darkness and the light, gave them refuge in the winters and summers of their lives.”
A.G. Riddle, The Lost Colony

“That isn’t who you are. You’re afraid. And you cannot have a life of great meaning if you make decisions out of fear.”
Barbara O'Neal, The Art of Inheriting Secrets
