Book cover for The Iliad
As when waves of the sea dash on the thundering shore, one after another under power of the West Wind moving— the wave rises first in the open sea, then shattering on land it roars mightily, and curling as it goes breaks around the ...more

“King Sorrow burns the wicked right off the face of the earth before they can hurt anyone else. You want to ask me who I think does more good? I say all hail the King.”
Joe Hill, King Sorrow

Cormac McCarthy
“In the beginning always was nothing. The novae exploding silently. In total darkness. The stars, the passing comets. Everything at best of alleged being. Black fires. Like the fires of hell. Silence. Nothingness. Night. Black Suns herding the planets through a universe where the concept of space was meaningless for want of any end to it. For want of any concept to stand it against.”
Cormac McCarthy, Stella Maris

“Music is made out of nothing but some fairly simple rules . . . The notes themselves amount to almost nothing. But why some particular arrangement of these notes should have such a profound effect on our emotions is a mystery beyond even the hope of comprehension.”
Cormac McCarthy, Stella Maris

Brandon Sanderson
“That is one of the great mistakes people make: assuming that someone who does menial work does not like thinking. Physical labor is great for the mind, as it leaves all kinds of time to consider the world. Other work, like accounting or scribing, demands little of the body—but siphons energy from the mind.

If you wish to become a storyteller, here is a hint: sell your labor, but not your mind. Give me ten hours a day scrubbing a deck, and oh the stories I could imagine. Give me ten hours adding sums, and all you’ll have me imagining at the end is a warm bed and a thought-free evening.”
Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea

Philip K. Dick
“One of these days," Joe said wrathfully, "people like me will rise up and overthrow you, and the end of tyranny by the homeostatic machine will have arrived. The day of human values and compassion and simple warmth will return, and when that happens someone like myself who has gone through an ordeal and who genuinely needs hot coffee to pick him up and keep him functioning when he has to function will get the hot coffee whether he happens to have a postcred readily available or not.”
Philip K. Dick, Ubik
