Arkady Strugatsky
“A picnic. Picture a forest, a country road, a meadow. Cars drive off the country road into the meadow, a group of young people get out carrying bottles, baskets of food, transistor radios, and cameras. They light fires, pitch tents, turn on the music. In the morning they leave. The animals, birds, and insects that watched in horror through the long night creep out from their hiding places. And what do they see? Old spark plugs and old filters strewn around... Rags, burnt-out bulbs, and a monkey wrench left behind... And of course, the usual mess—apple cores, candy wrappers, charred remains of the campfire, cans, bottles, somebody’s handkerchief, somebody’s penknife, torn newspapers, coins, faded flowers picked in another meadow.”
Arkady Strugatsky, Boris Strugatsky, Roadside Picnic

Stephen Jay Gould
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
Stephen Jay Gould, The Panda's Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History

C.S. Lewis
“You are never too old to set a new goal or to dream a new dream.”
CS Lewis

China Miéville
“He walked with equipoise, possibly in either city. Schrödinger’s pedestrian.”
China Miéville, The City & the City

China Miéville
“Books are always obviously having conversations with other books, and some times they're amiable and sometimes not.”
China Miéville, The City & the City
