H.G. Wells
“Every tyranny in the world lives - and such systems have always lived - in a perpetual struggle against plain knowledge and illuminating discussion. (The Star-Begotten)”
H. G. Wells

J.M. Barrie
“My dog knows very little, but what little he does know he knows extraordinarily well.”
J.M. Barrie, The Complete Adventures of Peter Pan

Kris Saknussemm
“The point is, you are who you think you are – who you believe yourself into being. If you can’t think who you are, then you can only be what somebody else thinks you are. And who can you trust to think you right?”
Kris Saknussemm

Evangeline Walton
“Questions can be more dangerous than swords.”
Evangeline Walton, Prince of Annwn

Eiji Yoshikawa
“It wasn't that he had forgotten the lesson Takuan had taught him: the truly brave man is one who loves life, cherishing it as a treasure that once forfeited can never be recovered. He well knew that to live was more than merely to survive. The problem was how to imbue his life with meaning, how to ensure that his life would cast a bright ray of light into the future, even if it became necessary to give up that life for a cause. If he succeeded in doing this, the length of his life--twenty years or seventy--made little difference. A lifetime was only an insignificant interval in the endless flow of time.”
Eiji Yoshikawa, Musashi
