Hans Fallada
“Anna Quangel felt herself trembling. Then she looked over at Otto again. He might be right: whether their act was big or small, no one could risk more than his life. Each according to his strength and abilities, but the main thing was, you fought back. Still”
Hans Fallada, Every Man Dies Alone

Bruce Lee
“Don't fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.”
Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts: Bruce Lee's Wisdom for Daily Living

Pierce Brown
“If this is the end, I will rage toward it.”
Pierce Brown, Morning Star

Jared Diamond
“I have often asked myself, "What did the Easter Islander who cut down the last palm tree say while he was doing it?" Like modern loggers, did he shout "Jobs, not trees!"? Or: "Technology will solve our problems, never fear, we'll find a substitute for wood"? Or: "We don't have proof that there aren't palms somewhere else on Easter, we need more research, your proposed ban on logging is premature and driven by fear-mongering"? Similar questions arise for every society that has inadvertently damaged its environment.”
Jared Diamond, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed

Eric H. Cline
“. . . "a town partly destroyed by fire and deserted in haste." Here, sometime around or after 1200 BCE, "loose objects were left abandoned in the courtyards and valuables were hidden in the ground. Bronze arrowheads - one of them found stuck in the side of a building - and numerous lead sling bullets scattered all over the place are eloquent proof of war.”
Eric H. Cline, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed
