Ralph Waldo Emerson
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance: An Excerpt from Collected Essays, First Series

Dave  Turner
“Life isn't about being brave. It's about getting through it even though you're scared,”
Dave Turner, How To Be Dead #1-3

Dick Wybrow
“So, to answer your question, there may be others that approach you from, let’s say, the competition. A wee bit of a power struggle at the moment for control of the underworld. Nothing to be concerned about.” “Right. Two devils fighting it out for control of Hell.” “Hardly,” he said and chuffed. “Actually, considering where our world is right now… that explains a lot.”
Dick Wybrow, Hell Inc: The Complete Series, Books 1-9

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson

Olivie Blake
“May I just point out,” said Stella, who was unfortunately a lawyer, “that the First Amendment does not protect you from hearing things you don’t want to hear. The First Amendment guarantees your safety against persecution by the government—”
Olivie Blake, All Manner of Thing Shall Be
