Edgar Allan Poe
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”
Edgar Allan Poe

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“The most important thing I learnt on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just the way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever. When any Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in a bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Albert Camus
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
Albert Camus
