Neil deGrasse Tyson
“We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.”
Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Il pianeta appresso era abitato da un ubriacone.
Questa visita fu molto breve, ma immerse il piccolo principe in una grande malinconia.
«Che cosa fai?» chiese all'ubriacone che stava in silenzio davanti a una collezione di bottiglie vuote e a una collezione di bottiglie piene.
«Bevo», rispose, in tono lugubre, l'ubriacone.
«Perché bevi?» domandò il piccolo principe.
«Per dimenticare», rispose l'ubriacone.
"Per dimenticare che cosa?» s'informò il piccolo principe che cominciava già a compiangerlo.
«Per dimenticare che ho vergogna», confessò l'ubriacone abbassando la testa.
«Vergogna di che?» insistette il piccolo principe che desiderava soccorrerlo.
«Vergogna di bere!» e l'ubriacone si chiuse in un silenzio definitivo.
Il piccolo principe se ne andò perplesso.
I grandi, decisamente, sono molto, molto bizzarri, si disse durante il viaggio.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Why are you drinking? - the little prince asked.
- In order to forget - replied the drunkard.
- To forget what? - inquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him.
- To forget that I am ashamed - the drunkard confessed, hanging his head.
- Ashamed of what? - asked the little prince who wanted to help him.
- Ashamed of drinking! - concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into total silence.
And the little prince went away, puzzled.
'Grown-ups really are very, very odd', he said to himself as he continued his journey.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Charlotte Brontë
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Clarence Darrow
“When we fully understand the brevity of life, its fleeting joys and unavoidable pains; when we accept the facts that all men and women are approaching an inevitable doom: the consciousness of it should make us more kindly and considerate of each other. This feeling should make men and women use their best efforts to help their fellow travelers on the road, to make the path brighter and easier as we journey on. It should bring a closer kinship, a better understanding, and a deeper sympathy for the wayfarers who must live a common life and die a common death.”
Clarence Darrow, The Essential Words and Writings of Clarence Darrow
