Anatole France
“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”
Anatole France

Daniel C. Dennett
“If you can approach the world's complexities, both its glories and its horrors, with an attitude of humble curiosity, acknowledging that however deeply you have seen, you have only scratched the surface, you will find worlds within worlds, beauties you could not heretofore imagine, and your own mundane preoccupations will shrink to proper size, not all that important in the greater scheme of things.”
Daniel C. Dennett, Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon

Elaine Scarry
“to have great pain is to have certainty; to hear that another person has pain is to have doubt.”
Elaine Scarry, The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World
