Liu Cixin
“Should philosophy guide experiments, or should experiments guide philosophy?”
Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem

Liu Cixin
“The universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is an armed hunter stalking through the trees like a ghost, gently pushing aside branches that block the path and trying to tread without sound. Even breathing is done with care. The hunter has to be careful, because everywhere in the forest are stealthy hunters like him. If he finds other life—another hunter, an angel or a demon, a delicate infant or a tottering old man, a fairy or a demigod—there’s only one thing he can do: open fire and eliminate them. In this forest, hell is other people. An eternal threat that any life that exposes its own existence will be swiftly wiped out. This is the picture of cosmic civilization. It’s the explanation for the Fermi Paradox.”
Liu Cixin, The Dark Forest

Hayao Miyazaki
“But remember this, Japanese boy... airplanes are not tools for war. They are not for making money. Airplanes are beautiful dreams. Engineers turn dreams into reality.”
Hayao Miyazaki, The Wind Rises

Nguyễn Huy Thiệp
“– Dạy học không có gì khó cả ! Sống dễ lắm ! – Ông giáo Chi lại nói – Mình cứ hình dung mình là đứa bé, đứa bé cần gì thì dạy thứ ấy… đừng dạy nó thứ không cần…

– Sống dễ lắm ! – Ông giáo Chi lại nói – Giáo dục… nghĩa là tha bổng… Hễ có tội là tha… trẻ con không có tội gì… Sống nghĩa là sai lầm, là mắc tội… Mình phải yêu mạng sống của chúng như yêu mạng sống của mình…

– Thế còn tình yêu ? – Những cô gái trẻ náo nức hỏi.

– Tớ không biết… – ông giáo Chi lúng túng trả lời – Nhưng có sự hi sinh… nghĩa là cay đắng…Tình yêu là mang cho nhau lời nguyện cầu tốt đẹp, những cử chỉ thân tình âu yếm, dục vọng, lòng ham sống… tóm lại là cảm giác…”
Nguyễn Huy Thiệp

C.G. Jung
“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”
Carl Jung
