― Imam al-Ghazali

“The Professor never really seemed to care whether we figured out the right answer to a problem. He preferred our wild, desperate guesses to silence, and he was even more delighted when those guesses led to new problems that took us beyond the original one. He had a special feeling for what called the "correct miscalculation," for he believed that mistakes were often as revealing as the right answers.”
― Yōko Ogawa, The Housekeeper and the Professor

“The trouble is,' the bound man went on, not stopped by anyone, 'that you are too closed off and have definitively lost faith in people. You must agree, one can't place all ones affection in a dog. Your life is impoverished, Hegemon.”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

“Strange," mused the Director, as they turned away. "Strange to think that even in Our Ford's day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. Imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption. It's madness. Nowadays, the Controllers won't approve of any new game unless it can be shown that it requires at least as much apparatus as the most complicating of existing games.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
