Scott Westerfeld
“Left alone, human beings are a plague. They multiply relentlessly, consuming every resource, destroying everything they touch.”
Scott Westerfeld, Pretties

Steven Moffat
“It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool.”
Steven Moffat

Owen   Johnson
“Brockhurst, the champion of individualism, was soon launched on his favorite topic.

"The great fault of the American nation, which is the fault of republics, is the reduction of everything to the average. Our universities are simply the expression of the forces that are operating outside. We are business colleges purely and simply, because we as a nation have only one ideal—the business ideal."

"That's a big statement," said Regan.

"It's true. Twenty years ago we had the ideal of the lawyer, of the doctor, of the statesman, of the gentleman, of the man of letters, of the soldier. Now the lawyer is simply a supernumerary enlisting under any banner for pay; the doctor is overshadowed by the specialist with his business development of the possibilities of the rich; we have politicians, and politics are deemed impossible for a gentleman; the gentleman cultured, simple, hospitable, and kind, is of the dying generation; the soldier is simply on parade."

"Wow!" said Ricketts, jingling his chips. "They're off."

"Everything has conformed to business, everything has been made to pay. Art is now a respectable career—to whom? To the business man. Why? Because a profession that is paid $3,000 to $5,000 a portrait is no longer an art, but a blamed good business. The man who cooks up his novel according to the weakness of his public sells a hundred thousand copies. Dime novel? No; published by our most conservative publishers—one of our leading citizens. He has found out that scribbling is a new field of business. He has convinced the business man. He has made it pay.”
Owen Johnson, Stover at Yale

عنترة بن شداد
“وَلَقَد ذَكَرتُكِ والرِّماحُ نَواهِلٌ - مِنّي وبِيضُ الهِندِ تَقطُرُ مِن دَمي
فَوَدَدتُ تَقبيلَ السُيوفِ لأَنَّها - لَمَعَت كَبارِقِ ثَغرِكِ المُتَبَسِّمِ”
عَنتَرة بِن شَدّاد

Bob Marley
