“The only way I knew how to live the best day ever was on an expedition.”
― Hendri Coetzee

“وقتی مسافرها از عزیزترین خاطراتشان حرف می‌زنند، به‌هیچ‌وجه قادر نیستند حقیقت را پنهان کنند. زن‌وشوهری ممکن است ادعا کنند عاشق همدیگران، اما ما به‌جای عشق در وجودشان بیزاری، خشم، یا حتی نفرت می‌بینیم. یا نوعی بیهودگی عمیق، گاهی فقط ترس از تنهایی و بس.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

“In the back of my mind, I thought maybe I would find my Robert Redford in New Orleans. We made our way to the city by afternoon and planned to drive home when the sun rose over Lake Pontchartrain. We had no idea where else to go, except to Bourbon Street. We walked toward the bright lights and glowing colors of one strip club after another…. In 1975, Big Daddy’s was the top, topless go-go joint on Bourbon.”
― Karen Hinton, Penis Politics: A Memoir of Women, Men and Power

“Rife's key realization was that there's no difference between modern culture and Sumerian. We have a huge workforce that is illiterate or alliterate and relies on TV-which is sort of an oral tradition. And we have a small, extremely literate power elite-the people who go into the Meatverse, basically-who understand that information is power, and who control society because they have this semimystical ability to speak magic computer languages.”
― Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash
