“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
J.R.R. Tolkien

George Saunders
“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.”
George Saunders

with the ability to say no to oneself.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel
