“Why do we focus on certain things at the expense of others? We will risk our lives to save a person from drowning, yet not make a donation that could save dozens of children from starvation (...)

Responding to complex issues that we cannot perceive directly requires the application of reasoning, which is less powerful than instinct.”
― Graeme Simsion, The Rosie Project

“Finally, when all was said and done, the certainty (so often experienced, yet always new) that female charms, the kind that inflame the senses, are no more than kitchen smells: they tease you when you're hungry and disgust you when you've had your fill.”

― Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves
