“When the sun was rising I doubted its value, as it set I lamented its loss.”
Evan Dara, The Easy Chain

Cormac McCarthy
“The wrath of God lies sleeping. It was hid a million years before men were and only men have the power to wake it. Hell aint half full. Hear me. Ye carry war of a madman’s making onto a foreign land. Ye’ll wake more than the dogs.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

Cormac McCarthy
“There is no such joy in the tavern as upon the road thereto.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Democracy and free speech are not facets of one gem; democracy and free speech are eternal enemies. But in any battle between an institution and an idea, the idea, in the long run, has the better of it. Here I do not venture into the absurdity of arguing that, as the world wags on, the truth always survives. I believe nothing of the sort. As a matter of fact, it seems to me that an idea that happens to be true—or, more exactly, as near to truth as any human idea can be, and yet remain generally intelligible—it seems to me that such an idea carries a special and often fatal handi cap. The majority of men prefer delusion to truth. It soothes. It is easy to grasp. Above all, it fits more snugly than the truth into a universe of false appearances—of complex and irrational phenomena,”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist

Sergio de la Pava
“Intellectual discourse and investigation is admittedly great fun but only truly meaningful when conducted in the service of others.”
Sergio De La Pava, A Naked Singularity
