Origin (Robert Langdon, #5)

by Dan Brown

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.”

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

“May our philosophies keep pace with our technologies. May our compassion keep pace with our powers. And may love, not fear, be the engine of change.”

If the laws of physics are so powerful that they can create life…who created the laws?! The question, of course, resulted in a dizzying intellectual hall of mirrors and brought everything full circle. Langdon’s head was pounding, and he knew he would need a very long walk alone even to begin to sort out Edmond’s ideas.

History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.

Love is from another realm. We cannot manufacture it on demand. Nor can we subdue it when it appears. Love is not our choice to make.

“Sometimes, all you have to do is shift your perspective to see someone else’s truth.”
