Virginia Woolf
“Fui de uno a otro, llevando en las manos mi dolor—no, no mi dolor sino la inaprehensible naturaleza de nuestro vivir— para que lo inspeccionaran. Algunos acuden a los sacerdotes, yo acudo a mis amigos y a mi propio corazón, y busco por entre frases y fragmentos algo que aún no esté quebrado, yo, para quien no hay belleza bastante en la luna o árbol, para quien el contacto de una persona con otra lo es todo, pero que ni siquiera esto puedo comprender, yo que soy tan imperfecto tan débil, tan indeciblemente solo. Ahí estaba.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves

Jerry A. Coyne
“Natural selection is not a master engineer, but a tinkerer. It doesn't produce the absolute perfection achievable by a designer starting from scratch, but merely the best it can do with what is has to work with.”
Jerry A. Coyne, Why Evolution Is True

Michel Houellebecq
“Por mucho valor, sangre fría y humor que uno acumule a lo largo de su vida, siempre acaba con el corazón destrozado. Y entonces uno deja de reírse. A fin de cuentas ya sólo quedan la soledad, el frío y el silencio. A fin de cuentas, sólo queda la muerte.”
Michel Houellebecq, The Elementary Particles

Hermann Hesse
“At this point a sharp realization burned within me: each man has his “function” but none which he can choose himself, define, or perform as he pleases. It was wrong to desire new gods, completely wrong to want to provide the world with something. An enlightened man had but one duty—to seek the way to himself, to reach inner certainty, to grope his way forward, no matter where it led.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

Jerry A. Coyne
“Selection is both revolutionary and disturbing for the same reason: it explains apparent design in nature by a purely materialistic process that doesn't require creation or guidance by supernatural forces.”
Jerry A. Coyne, Why Evolution Is True
