Neil Postman
“What’s wrong with turning back the clock if the clock is wrong? We need not be slaves to our technologies”
Neil Postman, How to Watch TV News

Brandon Sanderson
“I think something innate in us understands that seeking the good of society is usually best for the individual as well. Humankind is noble, when we give it the chance to be. That nobility is something that exists independent of any god’s decree.”
Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

Brandon Sanderson
“Yes, I could have traveled quickly. But all men have the same ultimate destination. Whether we find our end in a hallowed sepulcher or a pauper's ditch, all save the Heralds themselves must dine with the Nightwatcher. And so, does the destination matter? Or is it the path we take? I declare that no accomplishment has substance nearly as great as the road used to achieve it. We are not creatures of destinations. Is it the journey that shapes us. Our callused feet, our backs strong from carrying the weight of our travels, our eyes open with the fresh delight of experiences lived. In the end, I must proclaim that no good can be achieved of false means. For the substance of our existence is not in the achievement, but in the method. The Monarch must understand this; he must not become so focused on what he wishes to accomplish that he diverts his gaze from the path he must take to arrive there.”
Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

Brandon Sanderson
“It strikes me that religion—in its essence—seeks to take natural events and ascribe supernatural causes to them. I, however, seek to take supernatural events and find the natural meanings behind them. Perhaps that is the final dividing line between science and religion. Opposite sides of a card.”
Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

Charlotte Brontë
“My heart almost died within me; miserable longings strained its chords. How long were the September days! How silent, how lifeless!”
Charlotte Brontë, Villette
