    John Steinbeck
    “Then it don't matter. I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too. - Tom Joad”
    John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

    Iain M. Banks, Use of Weapons

    Iain M. Banks
    “I just took [my cancer diagnosis] as bad luck, basically. It did strike me almost immediately, my atheist sort of thing kicked in and I thought "ha, if I was a God-botherer, I'd be thinking, why me God? What have I done to deserve this?" and I thought at least I'm free of that, at least I can simply treat it as bad luck and get on with it.”
    Iain M. Banks

    “Λες:
    Πολύ καιρό αγωνίστηκες. Δεν μπορείς άλλο πια
    ν' αγωνιστείς.
    Άκου λοιπόν:
    Είτε φταις, είτε όχι
    σαν δεν μπορείς άλλο να παλέψεις, θα πεθάνεις.

    Λες:
    Πολύ καιρό έλπιζες. Δεν μπορείς άλλο πια
    να ελπίζεις.
    Έλπιζες τι;
    Πως ο αγώνας θα 'ναι εύκολος;
    .
    .
    .
    Αν δεν καταφέρουμε το αδύνατο
    δεν έχουμε ελπίδα.
    Αν δεν κάνουμε αυτό που κανείς δεν μπορείς να μας ζητήσει
    θα χαθούμε.

    Οι εχθροί μας περιμένουν να κουραστούμε.

    Όταν ο αγώνας είναι στην πιο σκληρή καμπή του,
    οι αγωνιστές έχουν την πιο μεγάλη κούραση.
    Οι κουρασμένοι χάνουν τη μάχη.”
    Μπέρτολτ Μπρεχτ

    Alan             Moore
    “The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory.

    The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control.

    The world is rudderless.”
    Alan Moore
