“We desire truth and find within ourselves only uncertainty.”
― Blaise Pascal

“Tragic heroes always moan when the gods take an interest in them, but it's the people the gods ignore who get the really tough deals.”
― Terry Pratchett, Mort

“Now ... if you trust in yourself ... and believe in your dreams ... and follow your star ... you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy. Goodbye.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

“They are talking like fools. They are saying that two and two make nothing. They are saying that a man will have to die to in order to protect his life. If you agree to fight you agree to die. Now if you die to protect your life you aren't alive anyhow so how is there any sense in a thing like that? A man doesn't say I will starve myself to death to keep from starving. He doesn't say I will spend all my money in order to save money. He doesn't say I will burn my house to down in order to keep it from burning. Why then should he be willing to die for the privilege of living?”
― Dalton Trumbo, Johnny Got His Gun
