Zygmunt Bauman
“Desire and love act at cross purposes. love is a net cast on eternity, desire is a stratagem to be spared the chores of net weaving.

True to their nature, love would strive to perpetuate the desire. Desire, on the other hand, would shun love's shackles.”
Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Love: On the Frailty of Human Bonds

Hermann Hesse
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go”
Herman Hesse

Margaret Mead
“One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to kill or torture an animal an get away with it.”
Margaret Mead

Ray Bradbury
“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I'm one of them.”
Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

George Orwell
“A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into; the other functions and faculties may be more godlike, but in point of time they come afterwards. A man dies and is buried, and all his words and actions are forgotten, but the food he has eaten lives after him in the sound or rotten bones of his children. I think it could be plausibly argued that changes of diet are more important than changes of dynasty or even of religion....Yet it is curious how seldom the all-importance of food is recognized. You see statues everywhere to politicians, poets, bishops, but none to cooks or bacon-curers or market gardeners.”
George Orwell, The Road To Wigan Pier: (Authorized Orwell Edition): A Mariner Books Classic
