“Thousands of years ago tribes of human beings suffered great privations in the struggle to survive. In this struggle it was important not only to be able to handle a club, but also to possess the ability to think reasonably, to take care of the knowledge and experience garnered by the tribe, and to develop the links that would provide cooperation with other tribes. Today the entire human race is faced with a similar test. In infinite space many civilizations are bound to exist, among them civilizations that are also wiser and more "successful" than ours. I support the cosmological hypothesis which states that the development of the universe is repeated in its basic features an infinite number of times. In accordance with this, other civilizations, including more "successful" ones, should exist an infinite number of times on the "preceding" and the "following" pages of the Book of the Universe. Yet this should not minimize our sacred endeavors in this world of ours, where, like faint glimmers of light in the dark, we have emerged for a moment from the nothingness of dark unconsciousness of material existence. We must make good the demands of reason and create a life worthy of ourselves and of the goals we only dimly perceive.”
― Andrei Sakharov

“What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“Travel brings power and love back into your life.”
― Rumi Jalalud-Din

“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
― Gustave Flaubert

“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.”
― Carl Sagan

“If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.”

― Mehmet Murat ildan

“When the faithful are asked whether God really exists, they often begin by talking about the enigmatic mysteries of the universe and the limits of human understanding. ‘Science cannot explain the Big Bang,’ they exclaim, ‘so that must be God’s doing.’ Yet like a magician fooling an audience by imperceptibly replacing one card with another, the faithful quickly replace the cosmic mystery with the worldly lawgiver. After giving the name of ‘God’ to the unknown secrets of the cosmos, they then use this to somehow condemn bikinis and divorces. ‘We do not understand the Big Bang – therefore you must cover your hair in public and vote against gay marriage.’ Not only is there no logical connection between the two, but they are in fact contradictory. The deeper the mysteries of the universe, the less likely it is that whatever is responsible for them gives a damn about female dress codes or human sexual behaviour.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

“—[La luna] Está llena de cráteres, pero son bonitos, ¿no? mucho más que si fuese una superficie completamente lisa. Tú eres como la luna. Todos somos imperfectos. Todos tenemos agujeros. ¿Y qué? Podemos vivir con esos. Debemos vivir con eso.”
― Alice Kellen, Nosotros en la Luna

“Yo no soy ninguna experta, pero creo que estar enamorado es algo más. Es sentir un cosquilleo en la tripa cuando la ves. Y no poder dejar de mirarla. Echarla de menos incluso teniéndola delante. Desear tocarla a todas horas, hablar de cualquier cosa, de todo y de nada. Sentir que pierdes la noción del tiempo cuando estás a su lado. Fijarte en los detalles. Querer saber cualquier cosa sobre ella, aunque sea una tontería.
¿Sabes Rhys? En realidad, creo que es como estar permanentemente colgado de la luna. Boca abajo. Con una sonrisa inmensa. Sin Miedo.”
― Alice Kellen, Nosotros en la Luna
