“Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment -- a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man’s existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“People with blood group B or O have a greater resistance to smallpox than do people with blood group A.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“Science fiction is held in low regard as a branch of literature, and perhaps it deserves this critical contempt. But if we view it as a kind of sociology of the future, rather than as literature, science fiction has immense value as a mind-stretching force for the creation of the habit of anticipation. Our children should be studying Arthur C.

Future Shock • Alvin Toffler“ . "Silence is a true friend who never betrays."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Funerals all over the world everywhere every minute. Shovelling them under by the cartload doublequick. Thousands every hour. Too many in the world.”
Ulysses • James Joyce
