“Orwell's vision of our terrible future was that world-- the world in which books are banned or burned. Yet it is not the most terrifying world I can think of. I think instead of Huxley-- ...I think of his Brave New World. His vision was the more terrible, especially because now it appears to be rapidly coming true, whereas the world of 1984 did not. What's Huxley's horrific vision? It is a world where there is no need for books to be banned, because no one can be bothered to read one.”
― Marcus Sedgwick, The Monsters We Deserve

“If I can draw you the right way, maybe you'll be able to see yourself through my eyes," I said, "If all goes well, of course."

"That's why we needs pictures."

"You're right--that's why we need pictures. Or literature, or music, or anything of that sort.”
― Haruki Murakami, Killing Commendatore

“Grief grinds slowly; it devours all the time it needs.”
― Long Litt Woon, Minun sienipolkuni - sienestyksen parantava vaikutus

“We live in a society that regards death as a defeat for medical science rather than a part of life. In a culture that allows little place for death in the public area, grief becomes a private affair, viewed as a luxury we cannot afford.”
