Liu Cixin
“It was impossible to expect a moral awakening from humankind itself, just like it was impossible to expect humans to lift off the earth by pulling up on their own hair. To achieve moral awakening required a force outside the human race.”
Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem

Joel Serrão
“A ideologia é a negação tácita ou efectiva da atitude e da metodologia científicas - a sua pretensa ou real «superação» do que à ciência, e só a ciência concerne; a história, enquanto ciência, nega-se ao que na ideologia se contém; o historiador, todavia, coabita com o cidadão - e como é que este se pode esquivar, como tal, às influências e às opções de carácter ideológico? A cidadania do homem-historiador anularia, pois, ou tenderia a anular, a objectividade que a sua ciência postula e exige como estatuto da sua própria existência?”
Joel Serrão, Emigração portuguesa: sondagem histórica

Thomas Pynchon
“You can only cruise the boulevards of regret so far, and then you've got to get back up onto the freeway again.”
Thomas Pynchon, Inherent Vice

J.G. Ballard
“The advanced societies of the future will not be governed by reason. They will be driven by irrationality, by competing systems of psychopathology.”
J.G. Ballard, J.G. Ballard: Quotes: Does the Future Have a Future?

André Breton
“A word and everything is saved.
A word and all is lost.”
André Breton
