Adriana Mather
“...if you come across someone sad and you do not try to make them smile, then you have disgraced your own humanity.”
Adriana Mather, Haunting the Deep

Bertrand Russell
“...Saygıdeğer Bede, kuyrukluyıldızların "krallıklarda devrimler çıkacağına, vebaya, savaşa, rüzgâra ya da sıcağa alamet" olduğunu söylemişti. John Knox kuyrukluyıldızlara tanrısal öfkenin kanıtları gözüyle bakar, başka İskoç Protestanları ise bunların, "Katoliklerin kökünü kazıtması için krala bir ihtar" olduğunu düşünürlerdi. Kuyrukluyıldızlar yönünden Amerika, özellikle de New England haklı olarak ilgi çekici bir yerdir. 1652 yılında, tam ünlü Mr. Cotton'un hastalandığı sırada bir kuyrukluyıldız görülmüş ve o ölünce kaybolmuştu. Aradan on yıl bile geçmeden, Boston şehrinin günahkâr halkına, "şehvetperestlikten ve sarhoşluk yoluyla, yeni moda elbiseler giymek yoluyla Tanrının salih mahlukatına karşı küfürde bulunmaktan" vazgeçmelerini ihtar için, bir kuyrukluyıldız göründü...”
Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays
