"We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world. We give little thought to the machinery that generates the sunlight that makes life possible; to the gravity that glues us to an earth that would otherwise send us spinning off in to space, or to the atoms of which we are made and on whose stability we fundamentally depend. Few of us spend much time wondering why nature is the way it is; where the cosmos came from, or whether it was always here; if time will one day flow backward and effects precede causes; or whether there are ultimate limits to what humans can know. What is the smallest piece of matter. Why do we remember the past and not the future. And why there is a universe." - Carl Sagan


“You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.” - Carl Sagan


"This is the real secret of life – to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play." - Alan Watts


“Western civilization is a loaded gun pointed at the head of this planet.” - Terence McKenna


"The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it." - Neil deGrasse Tyson


"I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored." - David Attenborough


“In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.” - Carl Sagan


"Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying." - Bear Grylls


"Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts." - Jake Gyllenhaal


“A boy and a girl started dating after he backed his car into hers. They met by accident.” - Adam Young

"A man is only ever as strong as the people around him: The community he serves and the family he is sworn to protect. Whatever strength he has, he draws from them. And for them, he must be prepared to give everything. His life for his blood, or else everything he has done, has been for nothing. He is nothing." - John Smith

"People"—Geralt turned his head—"like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live." - Geralt of Rivia, The Last Wish
