“Nobody steals books but your friends.”
― Roger Zelazny, The Guns of Avalon

“Be the flame, not the moth.”
― Giacomo Casanova

“But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“In every man sleeps a prophet, and when he wakes there is a little more evil in the world.”
― Emil Cioran
