I can scarcely believe that I have limitis,that I am outlined and defined. I feel myself to be dispersed in the atmosphere, thinking inside other creatures, living inside things beyond myself.

Carl Sagan

[biliki]

A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called “leaves”) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.

Richard Yates (Revolutionary Road)

[biliki]

If you wanted to do something absolutely honest, something true,
it always turned out to be a thing that had to be done alone.

Robert Fulghum (All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten)

[biliki]

And it is still true, no matter how old you are - when you go out into the world,
it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Oscar Wilde

[biliki]

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
