“In a moment there often dwells the sense of eternity; for when profoundly happy, we know that it is impossible to die. Whenever the soul feels itself, it feels everlasting life.”
― Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Zanoni & Rizzi

“In order for a field or discipline to progress and mature, it needs to reach a point where it can thoughtfully reflect on its origins, seek out a diverse set of perspectives on those reflections, and place that synthesis into a context that is useful for how the community pictures the future.”
― Gene Kim, The DevOps Handbook: How to Create World-Class Agility, Reliability, and Security in Technology Organizations

“I perceived that I was on a little round grain of rock and metal, filmed with water and with air, whirling in sunlight and darkness. And on the skin of that little grain all the swarms of men, generation by generation, had lived in labour and blindness, with intermittent joy and intermittent lucidity of spirit. And all their history, with its folk-wanderings, its empires, its philosophies, its proud sciences, its social revolutions, its increasing hunger for community, was but a flicker in one day of the lives of stars. If one could know whether among that glittering host there were here and there other spirit-inhabited grains of rock and metal, whether man’s blundering search for wisdom and for love was a sole and insignificant tremor, or part of a universal movement!”
― Olaf Stapledon, Star Maker

“—Los amigos que perdemos no reposan en la tierra, Maximiliano — dijo el conde—, están sepultados en nuestro corazón, y es Dios quien lo ha querido así para que siempre nos acompañen. Yo tengo dos amigos que me acompañan siempre también. El uno es el que me ha dado la vida, el otro es el que me ha dado la inteligencia. El espíritu de los dos vive en mí. Les consulto en mis dudas, y si hago algún bien, a sus consejos lo debo. Consultad la voz de vuestro corazón, Morrel,”
― Alexandre Dumas, El conde de Montecristo
