― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Sol Weintraub suddenly understood perfectly why Abraham had agreed to sacrifice Isaac, his son, when the Lord commanded him to do so. It was not obedience. It was not even to put the love of God above the love of his son. Abraham was testing God. By denying the sacrifice at the last moment, by stopping the knife, God had earned the right—in Abraham’s eyes and the hearts of his offspring—to become the God of Abraham. Sol”
― Dan Simmons, The Fall of Hyperion

“Many a man has a treasure in his hoard that he knows not the worth of. (Sellic Spell)”
