“Determinarea centrului exact al unui lucru anume poate fi cel puţin problematică. La oameni sau continente, de exemplu, problema pare irealizabilă. Care-i centrul unui om? Care-i centrul unui vis?...”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods: Tenth Anniversary

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“It's like the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad has happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. I know now folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.”
― Samwise Gamgee

“Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.”
― Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack
