“It is almost as though
something else is breathing

quite close by, invisibly.

― John Allison

“Blake would say that there are some places in the Universe where the Fall has not occurred, the world has not turned upside down and Eden still exists. Here Mankind is not governed by the rules of reason, stupid and strict, but by the heart and intuition. The people do not indulge in idle chatter, parading what they know, but create remarkable things by applying their imagination. The state ceases to impose the shackles of daily oppression, but helps people to realize their hopes and dreams. And Man is not just a cog in the system, not just playing a role, but a free Creature.”
― Olga Tokarczuk

“Once you realize that power will always end up with the sort of people who crave it, I think that there are worse people who could have it than Peter.”
― Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game
