“Men reveal what they think when they look away, and what they feel when they hesitate. With women, it's the other way around”
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

Viktor E. Frankl
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Baruch Spinoza
“The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.”
Baruch Spinoza

George Orwell
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
George Orwell, 1984

Liu Cixin
“Because of the speed of light. The known universe is about sixteen billion light-years across, and it’s still expanding. But the speed of light is only three hundred thousand kilometers per second, a snail’s pace. This means that light can never go from one end of the universe to the other. Since nothing can move faster than the speed of light, it follows that no information and motive force can go from one end of the universe to the other. If the universe were a person, his neural signals couldn’t cover his entire body; his brain would not know of the existence of his limbs, and his limbs would not know of the existence of the brain. Isn’t that paraplegia? The image in my mind is even worse: The universe is but a corpse puffing up.” “Interesting, Dr. Guan, very interesting!” “Other than the speed of light, three hundred thousand kilometers per second, there’s another three-based symptom.” “What do you mean?” “The three dimensions. In string theory, excepting time, the universe has ten dimensions. But only three are accessible at the macroscopic scale, and those three form our world. All the others are folded up in the quantum realm.”
Liu Cixin, Death's End
