    Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
    “Then the lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of Heaven; and He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
    So it goes.
    Those were vile people in both those cities, as is well known. The world was better off without them.
    And Lot's wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
    So she was turned to a pillar of salt.”

    Neil Gaiman
    “Sleep my little baby-oh
    Sleep until you waken
    When you wake you'll see the world
    If I'm not mistaken...

    Kiss a lover
    Dance a measure,
    Find your name
    And buried treasure...

    Face your life
    Its pain,
    Its pleasure,
    Leave no path untaken.”
