Brandon Sanderson
“I love memories. They are our ballads, our personal foundation myths. But I must acknowledge that memory can be cruel if left unchallenged. Memory is often our only connection to who we used to be. Memories are fossils, the bones left by dead versions of ourselves. More potently, our minds are a hungry audience, craving only the peaks and valleys of experience. The bland erodes, leaving behind the distinctive bits to be remembered again and again. Painful or passionate, surreal or sublime, we cherish those little rocks of peak experience, polishing them with the ever-smoothing touch of recycled proxy living. In so doing—like pagans praying to a sculpted mud figure—we make of our memories the gods which judge our current lives. I love this. Memory may not be the heart of what makes us human, but it’s at least a vital organ.”
Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea

Ken Kesey
“Era emerso alla vita per forse un minuto cercando di dirci qualcosa, qualcosa che nessuno di noi si curava di ascoltare o cercava di capire, e lo sforzo lo aveva svuotato.”
Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

H.G. Wells
“Spesso gli eventi straordinari, che trascendono le umane esperienze, hanno sugli uomini molto meno presa che non i piccoli fatti tangibili.”
Herbert George Wells

Stanisław Lem
“Noi cerchiamo solo l'uomo. Non abbiamo bisogno di altri mondi, abbiamo bisogno di specchi. Non sappiamo che cosa farcene di altri mondi. Uno ci basta, quello in cui sguazziamo.”
Stanisław Lem, Solaris
