William S. Burroughs
“Naked and sullen his street boy senses darted around the room for scraps of advantage-”
William S. Burroughs, The Soft Machine

“So this is how it worked now: everyone would keep warm separately, not kindling fires together. But in the days of Vanu’s youth it was by those very fires that people warmed themselves so they could live. Out of small, soot-stained pots and bowls, the big pot would be filled, which saved many a family from dying of hunger.
"People get stingy around their fires. They cook hearty meals over them, then drive away those who are freezing, those who, in life’s bad weather, couldn’t keep their table full. But it wasn’t so long ago that the old Nenets would say: if you can’t warm an unfortunate person by your fire, if you don’t have a piece of meat – don’t punish yourself, you still have a kind word, which is as mighty as a fire, as nourishing as a piece of meat.
"As soon as children could stand on their own feet and begin to understand why the sun was in the sky, they would be taught to recognise and understand these commandments. But what had our children been taught? To lurk like beasts of prey. Life was not a hunt, and it didn’t seem to require the habits of a beast.”
Anna Nerkagi

Carl Sagan
“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."

[Cosmos, Part 11: The Persistence of Memory (1980)]”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos
