Derek Parfit
“My life seemed like a glass tunnel, through which I was moving faster every year, and at the end of which there was darkness. When I changed my view, the walls of my glass tunnel disappeared. I now live in the open air.”
Derek Parfit, Reasons and Persons

Emily St. John Mandel
“One of our signature flaws as a species: we will risk almost anything to avoid looking stupid.”
Emily St. John Mandel, The Glass Hotel

Arthur Koestler
“The fact is: I no longer believe in my own infallibility. That is why I am lost.”
Arthur Koestler, Darkness at Noon

Jorge Luis Borges
“One of the schools in Tlön has reached the point of denying time. It reasons that the present is undefined, that the future has no other reality than as present hope, that the past is no more than present memory.”
Jorges Luis Borges

Thomas Nagel
“It is often remarked that nothing we do now will matter in a million years. But if that is true, then by the same token, nothing that will be the case in a million years matters now. In particular, it does not matter now that in million years nothing we do now will matter.”
Thomas Nagel, Mortal Questions
