As was noted long ago, we are all innocent children in the tall forest of our clever inventions.

Terry Pratchett
“People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact, it's the other way around.”
Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

Terry Pratchett
“Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

Gyula Krúdy
“For the farsighted, the folks in the know, life is a deer park, where gentle breezes and fragrant grape leaves keep you company, complete with afternoon foot-soakings, peaceful snoozes, fine hounds and desirable wenches, the hell with all care; a long life, a nice pipe from time to time, mellow dinners: that's the way to spend life, life that digs your grave even now, steadfastly, like the ever-burrowing mole. To want nothing, and ask only for peace and quiet. Hope for nothing besides fair weather on the morrow. Trust no one, believe no one, think no extraordinary thoughts, just live, live, and love; fall asleep, and wake up healthy... Wear comfy slippers and pass the night in a feather bed. Live out a happy and long old age, the best part of life. To get an honest night's sleep, and then a snooze after lunch, let out a few whoops, fight and make up.”
Gyula Krúdy

Terry Pratchett
“The trouble with witches is that they’ll never run away from things they really hate.

And the trouble with small furry animals in a corner is that, just occasionally, one of them’s a mongoose.”
Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

Karen Joy Fowler
“When I run the world, librarians will be exempt from tragedy. Even their smaller sorrows will last only for as long as you can take out a book.”
Karen Joy Fowler, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
