“How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart, you begin to understand, there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep ... that have taken hold.”

The Return of the King • J.R.R Tolkien

“In contrast, once food can be stockpiled, a political elite can gain control of food produced by others, assert the right of taxation, escape the need to feed itself, and engage full-time in political activities.”

Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)

“The one great principle of the English law is, to make business for itself.”

Bleak House • Charles Dickens

“He who is brave is free.”

Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca

“In no social institution is the codified ritual of behavior more rigid than in funerals. Imagine the indignation if the minister altered his sermon or experimented with facial expression. Consider the shock if, at the funeral parlors, any chairs were used but those little folding yellow torture chairs with the hard seats. No, dying, a man may be loved, hated, mourned, missed; but once dead he becomes the chief ornament of a complicated and formal social celebration.”

Tortilla Flat • John Steinbeck
