“The answer comes from the realization that genes for behavior, as well as for malaria resistance and teeth, are subject to natural selection.”

Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond

“Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love.”

Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck

“'But,' I [Dmitri Karamazov] asked, 'how will man be after that? Without God and the future life? It means everything is permitted now, one can do anything?' 'Didn't you know?' he said. And he laughed. 'Everything is permitted to the intelligent man,' he said.”

The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski

“In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers.”

Moby Dick • Herman Melville

“After us they’ll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they’ll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, “Oh! Life is so hard!” and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.”

Seagull • Anton Chekhov
