“All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.”
― J.M. Barrie , Peter Pan

“The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
― Joan Didion, The White Album

“Life is a memory, and then it is nothing.”
― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
