“Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.”
― Aldous Huxley

“All the lives I could live, all the people I will never know, never will be, they are everywhere. That is all that the world is.”
― Aleksandar Hemon, The Lazarus Project

“What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.”
― William Wordsworth

“If man's capacity for the fantastic took up as much of his imagination as his capacity for cruelty, the worlds, seen and unseen, might be very different.”
― G. Willow Wilson, Alif the Unseen
