Nikolai Grozni
“On the bottom staff—the taste of earth, worms, and dust; the smell of dead leaves and frankincense. On the top—the luminosity of awareness making sense of transience and predestination. Three quiet major chords marked the moment of death, because death was sweet. It was our true home, the home we'd left and been trying to get back to. It's what we had passed through before and would pass through again, a moment of truth that suspended the weight of thought, the weight of the will to inhabit a dead universe.”
Nikolai Grozni

Isaac Asimov
“It is in meeting the great tests that mankind can most successfully rise to great heights. Out of danger and restless insecurity comes the force that pushes mankind to newer and loftier conquests. Can you understand that? Can you understand that in averting the pitfalls and miseries that beset man, Eternity prevents men from finding their own bitter and better solutions, the real solutions that come from conquering difficulty, not avoiding it?”
Isaac Asimov, The End of Eternity

Dan Simmons
“Like your kind/
we usually destroy
what we cannot understand”
Dan Simmons, The Fall of Hyperion

Jenny  Lawson
“It’s about taking those moments when things are fine and making them amazing, because those moments are what make us who we are, and they’re the same moments we take into battle with us”
Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things

Jenny  Lawson
“Jesus gave me this book when he was done with it, saying, “You have got to read this shit, Kevin. It’s fucking fantastic.” Jesus is terrible with names. —ERNEST HEMINGWAY”
Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
