Carl Sagan
“As a consequence of the enormous social and technological changes of the last few centuries, the world is not working well. We do not live in traditional and static societies. But our government, in resisting change, act as if we did. Unless we destroy ourselves utterly, the future belongs to those societies that, while not ignoring the reptilian and mammalian parts of our being, enable the characteristically human components of our nature to flourish; to those societies that encourage diversity rather than conformity; to those societies willing to invest resources in a variety of social, political, economic and cultural experiments, and prepared to sacrifice short-term advantage for long-term benefit; to those societies that treat new ideas as delicate, fragile and immensely valuable pathways to the future.”
Carl Sagan, The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence

Péter Esterházy
“Egy idézet Thomas Manntól – vagy Goethétől?, minden idézet vagy Thomas Manntól, vagy Goethétől való – mutatja az irányt: Író az, akinek gondot okoz az írás.”
Péter Esterházy, A szavak csodálatos életéből

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“This is a very bad book you're writing," I said to myself behind my leaks. "I know," I said. "You're afraid you'll kill yourself the way your mother did," I said. "I know," I said.

There in the cocktail lounge, peering out through my leaks at a world of my own invention, I mouthed this word: schizophrenia. The sound and appearance of the word had fascinated me for many years. It sounded and looked to me like a human being sneezing in a blizzard of soap flakes. I did not and do not know for certain that I have that disease. This much I knew and know: I was making myself hideously uncomfortable by not narrowing my attention to details of life which were immediately important, and by refusing to believe what my neighbors believed.

I am better now. Word of honor: I am better now.

I was really sick for a while, though.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions

“While there is a lower class I am in it. While there is a criminal element I am of it. While there is a soul in prison I am not free.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus
