“I would like to be without shame. I would like to be shameless. I would like to be ignorant. Then I would not know how ignorant I was.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“We rest; A dream has power to poison sleep.
We rise; One wandering thought pollutes the day.
We feel, conceive, or reason; laugh or weep,
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away;
It is the same: for, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of departure still is free.
Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but mutability!”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“The Doctor looked at her, completely serious, and said very kindly and softly, 'Oh, I'm incredibly scared most of the time, you know. No one with even a basic knowledge of the universe wouldn't be - it's a completely terrifying place. And enormous. But it's also wonderful and lovely and more interesting than you could possibly imagine. Even than I could possibly imagine. It never lets me down. And I get to be alive in it all and to be scared and amazed and delighted and... I wouldn't be without it.' Then he adjusted his hat and grinned, playing the fool again.”
― A.L. Kennedy, Doctor Who: The Drosten's Curse

“Selbst wenn alles schrecklich ist, man hat doch nur das eine Leben, das gibt man doch nicht auf, auch wenn man eine schwarze Krähe auf der Schulter hat, die einem gelegentlich das Herz aufhackt und die Eingeweide rausreißt, die haben wir doch alle.”
― Isabel Bogdan, Laufen
