Richard P. Feynman
“I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding, they learn by some other way — by rote or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!”
Richard Feynman

Jana Petken
“unlike the old Inquisition, an inquisitor didn’t have to be a member of the clergy to hold office.”
Jana Petken, The Errant Flock

Yevgeny Zamyatin
“Don't forget that we lawyers, we're a higher breed of intellect, and so it's our privilege to lie. It's as clear as day. Animals can't even imagine lying: if you were to find yourself among some wild islanders, they too would only speak the truth until they learned about European culture.”
Yevgeny Zamyatin, Islanders & The Fisher of Men

“لَتُبْلَوُنَّ فِي أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ أَذًى كَثِيراً وَإِن تَصْبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الأُمُورِ”
الله عز وجل, القرآن الكريم

Gabriel García Márquez
“[T]hink of love as a state of grace: not the means to anything but the alpha and omega, an end in itself.”
Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera
