Book cover for Dune (Dune #1)
“Men and their works have been a disease on the surface of their planets before now,” his father said. “Nature tends to compensate for diseases, to remove or encapsulate them, to incorporate them into the system in her own way.”

“Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn't mean they're lost forever.”
Charles Xavier (X-Men)

Roald Dahl
“Listening to my father during those early years, I began to realise how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good, either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”
Roald Dahl, My Uncle Oswald

Rebecca Solnit
“Comfort is often a code word for the right to be unaware.”
Rebecca Solnit, Whose Story Is This? Old Conflicts, New Chapters

“We must think about all the ways we have been brainwashed un-consciously and fight against it. It is a hard struggle, because everything around us is sexist—the books we read, the t.v. shows we watch, the institutions of our society. We will never be free until we have broken all the chains of our “non-conscious ideology” and our colonized mentalities.”
Darrel Enck-Wanzer, The Young Lords: A Reader

Orson Welles
“If one is fashionable for the greater part of one’s career, one will produce second-class work. Perhaps by chance one will arrive at being a success but this means that one is a follower and not an innovator. An artist should lead, blaze trails.”
Orson Welles
