Victor Hugo
“where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and who can say which has the wider vision?”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Thomas Pynchon
“What goes around may come around, but it never ends up exactly the same place, you ever notice? Like a record on a turntable, all it takes is one groove's difference and the universe can be on into a whole 'nother song.”
Thomas Pynchon, Inherent Vice

Thomas Pynchon
“Keep cool but care”
Thomas Pynchon, V.

Robinson Jeffers
“The Atlantic is a stormy moat, and the Mediterranean,
The blue pool in the old garden,
More than five thousand years has drunk sacrifice
Of ships and blood and shines in the sun; but here the Pacific:
The ships, planes, wars are perfectly irrelevant.
Neither our present blood-feud with the brave dwarfs
Nor any future world-quarrel of westering
And eastering man, the bloody migrations, greed of power, battle-falcons,
Are a mote of dust in the great scale-pan.
Here from this mountain shore, headland beyond stormy headland plunging like
dolphins through the grey sea-smoke
Into pale sea, look west at the hill of water: it is half the planet: this
dome, this half-globe, this bulging
Eyeball of water, arched over to Asia,
Australia and white Antarctica: those are the eyelids that never close; this
is the staring unsleeping
Eye of the earth, and what it watches is not our wars.”
Robinson Jeffers, The Selected Poetry

Herman Melville
“There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method.”
Herman Melville
