Book cover for The Book of Disquiet
No other writer ever achieved such a direct transference of self to paper. The Book of Disquiet is the world’s strangest photograph, made out of words, the only material capable of capturing the recesses of the soul it exposes.

R. Scott Bakker
“To be ignorant and to be deceived are two different things. To be ignorant is to be a slave of the world. To be deceived is to be the slave of another man. The question will always be: Why, when all men are ignorant, and therefore already slaves, does this latter slavery sting us so? —AJENCIS, THE EPISTEMOLOGIES   But”
R. Scott Bakker, The Darkness that Comes Before

Jorge Luis Borges
“It is a laborious madness and an impoverishing one, the madness of composing vast books - setting out in five hundred pages an idea that can be perfectly related orally in five minutes. The better way to go about it is to pretend that those books already exist, and offer a summary, a commentary on them." (From the Introduction of 1941's The Garden of Forking Paths)”
Jorge Luis Borges, Fictions

Eliezer Yudkowsky
“In what weird alternative universe would that girl NOT be Sorted into Ravenclaw? If Hermione Granger didn't go to Ravenclaw then there was no good reason for Ravenclaw House to exist.”
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

Leigh Bardugo
“Greed is your god, Kaz."
He almost laughed at that. "No, Inej. Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever.”
Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

Eliezer Yudkowsky
“Many have stood their ground and faced the darkness when it comes for them. Fewer come for the darkness and force it to face them.”
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
