“quoting Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat:
"Good friends beware! the only life we knows Flies from us like an arrow from the bow, the Caravan of life is moving by, Quick! to your places in the passing show.”
― Dorothy Gilman, Caravan

“So they live in darkness but they're safe, I said, and wondered if to be this safe was to always live in darkness...”
― Dorothy Gilman, Caravan

“What I felt at this moment was black dispair - but no, this was wrong because the color black has vitality , the night is black and has stars and a moon, and mysterious and important events can happen in the darkness. Despair, I decided, was grey: endless, bottomless, without night or day, time, sun or stars.”
― Dorothy Gilman, Caravan

“Human intellect has always evolved by rejecting outdated information in favor of new truths... In Darwinian terms, a religion that ignores scientific facts and refuses to change its beliefs is like a fish stranded in a slowly drying pond refusing to flip into deeper water because it doesn't want to believe its world has changed.”
