“Do not suffer life to stagnate, it will grow muddy for want of motion; commit yourself again to the current of the world.”
― Samuel Johnson, The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia

“What senses do we lack that we cannot see or hear another world all around us?”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.”
― William Blake

“Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. You may fancy yourself safe and think yourself strong. But a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play... I tell you, that it is on things like these that our lives depend. ”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
