“Ak, cik tā smalka lieta - mokas.
Kas var tik smalki aplēst!
Tavus matus aptīt sev ap roku
un līdz kliedziena robežai paplēst.

Sāpes darīt, sāpes darīt.
Starp nopietnību un joku.
Pamīlēt tevi un darīt pāri,
tavus matus aptīt ap roku.

Nē, kāpēc piedošanu lūgties!
Tā gribas glaudīt un kost.
Pamīlēt tevi, pamīlēt tevi
un zemē
ar spēku
spiest nost.”
― Imants Ziedonis

“Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.”
― Marie Curie

“[Science] works! Planes fly. Cars drive. Computers compute. If you base medicine on science, you cure people. If you base the design of planes on science, they fly. If you base the design of rockets on science, they reach the moon. It works... bitches.”
― Richard Dawkins

“Throughout history many nations have suffered a physical defeat, but that has never marked the end of a nation. But when a nation has become the victim of a psychological defeat, then that marks the end of a nation.”
― Ibn Khaldun, The Muqaddimah: An Introduction to History
