Neil deGrasse Tyson
“We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

Cao Xueqin
“When grief for fiction’s idle words More real than human life appears, Reflect that life itself’s a dream And do not mock the reader’s tears.”
Cao Xueqin, The Story of the Stone

Anthony Burgess
“The heresy of an age of reason,' or some such slovos [words]. 'I see what is right and approve, but I do what is wrong.”
Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

William Shakespeare
“No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage...”
William Shakespeare, As You Like It

Marcel Proust
“For, medicine being a compendium of the successive and contradictory mistakes of medical practitioners, when we summon the wisest of them to our aid, the chances are that we may be relying on a scientific truth the error of which will be recognized in a few years’ time. So that to believe in medicine would be the height of folly, if not to believe in it were not greater folly still, for from this mass of errors there have emerged in the course of time many truths.”
Marcel Proust, The Guermantes Way
