Mark Twain
“There isn't time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that.”
Mark Twain

Leo Tolstoy
“Vivimos en este mundo como un niño que entra en una habitación donde está hablando una persona inteligente. El niño no oyó el comienzo del discurso, y se marcha antes de que concluya. Además, oye determinadas cosas que no comprende. Del mismo modo, el gran discurso de Dios empezó hace muchísimos siglos, mucho antes de que empezáramos a aprender, y continuará durante muchos siglos después de que nos hayamos convertido en polvo. Sólo escuchamos una parte del discurso, y no comprendemos casi nada de lo que escuchamos, pero no obstante, de una manera vaga, comprendemos algo grande, algo importante.”
Leo Tolstoy, Calendario de la sabiduría

Karl Popper
“While differing widely in the various little bits we know, in our infinite ignorance we are all equal.”
Karl R. Popper

Niccolò Machiavelli
“Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good, and use that knowledge, or refrain from using it, as necessity requires.”
Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

George R.R. Martin
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
