“The first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb, when it comes, find us doing sensible and human things -- praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts -- not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
― Mark Twain

“Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.”
― Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

“But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
