George Orwell
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
George Orwell, Animal Farm

Karel Čapek
“It is a well–known fact that the greater a man is the less he has on his door–plate.”
Karel Čapek, War with the Newts

Nawal El Saadawi, Woman at Point Zero

Benjamin Hale

More than snakes, even. More than falling, or the dark. We trick ourselves into seeing meanings in things, when in fact all we are doing is grafting our meanings onto the universe to comfort ourselves. We gild the chaos of the universe with our symbols.

Benjamin Hale, The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore

Voltaire

That is a hard question,' said Candide.”
Voltaire, Candide
