Karl Marx
“إن الإنسان الذي يصبح خاضعاً لحاجاته المغرّبة هو كائن إنساني مشوه ذهنياً وطبيعياً ... السلعة الفاعلة والواعية ذاتياً. إن الإنسان السلعة هذا لا يعرف سوي طريق واحد لتواصل ذاته مع العالم الخارجي, بواسطة امتلاكه واستهلاكه: فكلما يكون الإنسان أكثر اغتراباً كلما تساهم حاسة الملكية والاستعمال أكثر في تشكيل علاقاته بالعالم. فكلما تكون أنت أقل, وكلما تعبر أقل عن حياتك, كلما تملك أكثر, وكلما تكون حياتك المغرَّبة وعملية توفير وجودك, أعظم”
Karl Marx, Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844

Randy Pausch
“But he made me realize that if I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can't do today.”
Randy Pausch

JoDee Neathery
“I remember not belonging. I was always Summer’s older sister—the plain one with the red hair and a gap between her front teeth. The first boy I had a crush on said my teeth looked like piano keys. My smile hid behind by hand until one day the captain of the hockey team said I looked like Madonna. It was like instant validation. Mine wasn’t a flaw, it was a feature . . . my unique trademark. I knew then I didn’t want to be perfect nor was my self-esteem tied to any clique.
Starla reassuring teenage Willa of the correct perspective on self esteem and self-worth.”
JoDee Neathery, A Kind of Hush

Isaac Asimov
“I tell you it's deadly when you start thinking your wife might be right.”
Isaac Asimov, Gold: The Final Science Fiction Collection

“I believe it was Thursday; my last memory was Tuesday night, and I did not use to die more than two days in a row.”
Sergio Cobo, A Story of Yesterday
