Milan Kundera
“In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Terry Pratchett
“Hope showed in his voice like a toe peeking out from under a crinoline.”
Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies

Edward W. Said
“..culture is not monolithic either and is not the exclusive property of the East or West nor of the small groups of men and women.”
Edward W. Said, Culture and Imperialism

J.R.R. Tolkien
“It flamed like a star that leaping from the firmament sears the dark air with intolerable light.”
J.R.R. Tolkien , The Two Towers

Frank Herbert
“Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.”
Frank Herbert, Dune
