“Victory and defeat are matters of the temporary force of circumstances. The way of avoiding shame is different. It is simply in death.”
― Tsunetomo Yamamoto, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

“...even a mirror will not show you yourself, if you do not wish to see.”
― Roger Zelazny, Lord of Light

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

“Не всяко злато сияе,
не всеки скиталец е враг,
здрав старец не вехне до края,
не жари слана корен як.
Ще лумне пак пламък изгаснал,
над сянката – лъч засиял,
строшеният меч ще зарасне,
сваленият пак ще е крал.”
― Дж. Р. Р. Толкин
