“We yearn for tomorrow and the progress that it represents. But yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was progress in it? Or we yearn for yesterday, for what was or what might have been. But as we are yearning, the present is becoming the past, so the past is nothing but our yearning for second chances.”
― Dean Koontz, Brother Odd

“In our age, self-indulgence and self-destruction, rather than self-sacrifice, are the foundations for new heroic myths.”
― Dean Koontz, Brother Odd

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
― George Orwell, Animal Farm

“Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
