― Arthur C. Clarke

“it is clear that we must trust what is difficult; everything alive trusts in it, everything in Nature grows and defends itself any way it can and is spontaneously itself, tries to be itself at all costs and against all opposition. We know little, but that we must trust in what is difficult is a certainty that will never abandon us; it is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be one more reason for us to do it.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“Rule number one: Don't fuck with librarians.”
― Neil Gaiman

“Only those who dare may fly”
― Luis Sepúlveda, The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly
