“All I ask is this: Do something. Try something. Speaking out, showing up, writing a letter, a check, a strongly worded e-mail. Pick a cause – there are few unworthy ones. And nudge yourself past the brink of tacit support to action. Once a month, once a year, or just once...Even just learning enough about a subject so you can speak against an opponent eloquently makes you an unusual personage. Start with that. Any one of you would have cried out, would have intervened, had you been in that crowd in Bashiqa. Well thanks to digital technology, you’re all in it now.”
― Joss Whedon

“Zeus, first cause, prime mover; for what thing without Zeus is done among mortals?”
― Aeschylus, Agamemnon

“They sent forth men to battle, But no such men return; And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes in an urn”
― Aeschylus, Agamemnon

“Later, with strange galaxies turning in slow gavotte overhead, neither thought the act of love had ever been so sweet, so full”
― Stephen King, The Drawing of the Three
