William Shakespeare
“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
William Shakespeare, The Tempest

David  Wong
“Tip: if you ever feel a puke coming on, do not, do not put your hand over your mouth to try to catch it. It’s reflex but it doesn't work at all. Vomit kind of sprays everywhere.”
David Wong, John Dies at the End

Carl Sagan
“And yet, the chief deficiency I see in the sceptical movement is in its polarization: Us v. Them - the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you’re sensible, you’ll listen to us; and if not, you’re beyond redemption. This is unconstructive. It does not get the message across. It condemns the sceptics to permanent minority status; whereas, a compassionate approach that from the beginning acknowledges the human roots of pseudoscience and superstition might be much more widely accepted.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Alan W. Watts
“[T]he anxiety-laden problem of what will happen to me when I die is, after all, like asking what happens to my fist when I open my hand, or where my lap goes when I stand up.”
Alan Watts
