“There will come a time…”

“‘There will come a time,’ I said, ‘when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this’ – I gestured encompassingly – ‘will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.'”

Reading is like eating…

“Reading is like eating. If you don’t eat, you eventually keel over and die. If you don’t read, your writing brain eventually keels over and dies. It needs sustenance. Read as much and as widely as you can.” ~ E. Lockhart in an interview with Miss Literati

“A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

“’After my name day feast, I’m going to raise a host and kill your brother myself. That’s what I’ll give you, Lady Sansa. Your brother’s head.’
A kind of madness took over her then, and she heard herself say, ‘Maybe my brother will give me your head.’”

~ George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
