Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“The hell with the talented sparrowfarts who write delicately of one small piece of one mere lifetime, when the issues are galaxies, eons, and trillions of souls yet to be born.”

Robert Musil

Robert Musil, The Confusions of Young Törless

Juan Villoro

Juan Villoro, El libro salvaje

Robert M. Sapolsky
“Sam Harris argues convincingly that it’s impossible to successfully think of what you’re going to think next. The takeaway from chapters 2 and 3 is that it’s impossible to successfully wish what you’re going to wish for.

Robert M. Sapolsky, Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will

Kentaro Miura
“We do not have the power now to melt the snow that lies thick around us. Perhaps we wanted merely to feel the warmth in each other, a warmth we had in common.”
Kentaro Miura, Berserk, Vol. 22
