Books:

"What is Real?" Asked the Velveteen Rabbit
"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off,
and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real, you can't be
ugly except to people who don't understand...
but once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always"
(said The Skin Horse). -Margary Williams
"This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
-T. S. Eliot

It is human nature to take delight in exciting admiration. It is what prompts children to say "smart" things, and do absurd ones, and in other ways "show off" when company is present. It is what makes gossips turn out in rain and storm to be the first to tell a startling bit of news. -
Mark Twain
I will not fear, fear is the mindkiller. Fear is the little-death that brings
total obliteration. I will face my fear.
I will allow it to pass over me and through me and when it has gone I will
turn the inner eye to see its path.Where the fear has been there
will be nothing. Only I will remain.
- Frank Herbert
"To Beguile time, look like the time.
Bare welcome in your eye,
your hand,your tounge:
look like th' innocent flower.
But be the serpent under't."
- Macbeth
Over thy wounds
now do I prophesy,--
Which, like dumb mouths,
do ope their ruby lips,
To beg the voice and
utterance of my tongue--
A curse shall light
upon the limbs of men;
Domestic fury and
fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all
the parts of Italy;
Blood and destruction
shall be so in use
And dreadful objects
so familiar
That mothers shall but
smile when they behold
Their infants quarter'd
with the hands of war;
All pity choked with
custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar's spirit,
ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side
come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines
with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let
slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed
shall smell above the earth
With carrion men,
groaning for burial.
-Julius Caesar
William Shakespeare
"I've yet to learn that the lesson of the purest good
may not be drawn from the vilest evil."
-C. Dickens
"On the way back, they sang a number of tuneful and reflective songs on the subjects of peace, justice, morality, culture, sport, family life, and the obliteration of all other life forms."
-Douglas Adams

"Through me you pass
into the city of woe:
Through me you pass
into eternal pain:
Through me among the
people lost for aye.
Justice the founder
of my fabric moved:
To rear me was the
task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom,
and primeval love.
Before me things create
were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal
I shall endure.
All hope abandon,
ye who enter here."
-Dante Alighieri
"In return for an agreed level of crime per annum the thieves themselves
saw to it that unauthorized crime was met with the full
force of Injustice, which was generally a stick with nails in it."
"Any wizard bright enough to survive for five minutes was also bright enough to realise
that if there was any power in demonology, then it lay with the demons.
Using it for your own purposes would be like trying to beat mice to death with a rattlesnake."
-Terry Pratchet
God does not play
dice with the universe:
He plays an ineffable game
of His own devising,
which might be compared,
from the perspective of
any of the other players
[i.e. everybody],
to being involved in an
obscure and complex
variant of poker
in a pitch-dark room,
with blank cards,
for infinite stakes,
with a Dealer who
won't tell you the rules,
and who *smiles all the time*.
DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death. JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING
EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH.
Aziraphale: "Asteroid strike? Quite the fashion these days, I understand. Strike into the
Indian Ocean, great big cloud of dust and vapor, goodbye all higher life forms."
Crowley: "Wow."
Aziraphale: "Doesn't bear thinking about it, does it."
Crowley: "All the higher life forms scythed away, just like that."
Aziraphale: "Terrible."
Crowley: "Nothing left but dust and fundamentalists."
Good Omens by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman
"Eeyore, what *are* you doing there?" said Rabbit.
"I'll give you three guesses, Rabbit. Digging holes in the ground? Wrong. Leaping from
branch to branch of a young oak-tree? Wrong. Waiting for somebody to help me
out of the river? Right. Give Rabbit time, and he'll always get the answer."
-A. A. Milne
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart,
Thine eyes grow full of tender care;
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart.
Gaze no more in the bitter glass
The demons, with their subtle guile
Lift up before us when they pass,
Or only gaze a little while;
-William Butler Yeats
Fate has given this man a spirit
Which is always pressing onwards, beyond control,
and whose mad striving overleaps,
All joys of the earth between pole and pole.
Him shall I drag through the wilds of life
and through the flats of meaninglessness,
I shall make him flounder and gape and stick
and to tease his insatiableness
Hang meat and drink in the air before his watering lips,
In vain he will pray to slake his inner thirst,
and even had he not sold himself to the devil
He would be equally accursed.
-Faust, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
