Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Nikos Kazantzakis
“God changes his appearance every second. Blessed is the man who can recognize him in all his disguises.”
Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

Yann Martel
“I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unnerving ease. It begins in your mind, always ... so you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you.”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

Yann Martel
“The presence of God is the finest of rewards.”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

Ida B. Wells-Barnett
“The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”
Ida B. Wells-Barnett
