Holly Black
“I wonder if there's a limit to what I will let them do, if there is something that would make me fight back, even if it dooms me.

If there is, that makes me a fool.

But maybe if there isn't, that makes me a monster.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Bram Stoker
“Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain. But yet we see around us every day the growth of new beliefs, which think themselves new; and which are yet but the old, which pretend to be young like the fine ladies at the opera. I suppose now you do not believe in corporeal transference. No? Nor in materialisation. No? Nor in astral bodies. No? Nor in the reading of thought. No? Nor in hypnotism.”
Bram Stoker, Dracula

Kwame Alexander
“Basketball rule #3
Never let anyone
lower your goals
Other's expectations
of you are determined
by their limitations
of life.
The sky is the limit, sons.
Always shoot
for the sun
And you _will_ shine.”
Kwame Alexander, The Crossover

“The problem with solutionism... It assumes that rationality has the tools to solve every problem. ... We think problems are decidable because we only see the decidable ones. We don't see the infinite number of problems we can't solve because it's so difficult even to describe them. We are finite creations and can solve problems only if we can develop algorithms --finite procedures-- for reaching the correct answers. Most problems do not have solutions that are reducible to finite procedures. To assume the world is built so we can figure it out is absurd.”
Scott J. Shapiro, Fancy Bear Goes Phishing: The Dark History of the Information Age, in Five Extraordinary Hacks

“Here, I stand at the threshold of the world, my heart entwined with the pulse of nature, my spirit poised to soar beyond the limits of my mortal form.”
Ryan Gelpke, Peruvian Days

David Markson
“I did give serious thought to the notion of rowing out beyond the breakers on the night on which my house was burning to the ground, actually, once it had struck me to wonder from how far out the flames might be seen.

Doubtless I would not have rowed nearly far enough, even if I had gone, since one would have surely had to row all the way beyond the horizon itself.

For that matter one might have actually been able to row as far as to where one was out of sight of the flames altogether, and yet still have been seeing the glow against the clouds.

Which is to say that one would have then been seeing the fire upside down, so to speak.

And not even the fire, but only an image of the fire.

Possibly there were no clouds, however.

And in either case I no longer had a rowboat.”
David markson, Wittgenstein’s Mistress

“Nuestro sistema nervioso, aunque menos observable que nuestros movimientos físicos, es igualmente significativo. Para mejorarlo, debemos medir, monitorear y mejorar conscientemente nuestros hábitos”
Juan I. Fernández, Libertad para Gente Inteligente: De la cognición a la acción

“~Feelings endure, but Efforts have their limits. Liking someone doesn't guarantee endless attempts to make things work without mutual investment. Perseverance dwindles when efforts are consistently unreciprocated. Liking someone isn't synonymous with enduring unequal efforts...”
Carson Anekeya

“The woman is a force of nature.�

Crash relaxes a bit but doesn’t move from where he’s positioned himself as a wall before me. “She sure as hell is, but she deals with enough from assholes like her coworker. Just because she’s a force of nature doesn’t mean she should have to put up with everyone’s shit.”
Rory Miles, Shadow Slayer

“The biggest requirement of learning is to know your limits of the moment.”
Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“We are infused with the passion to rise above the limits of our own humanity. And such a passion is so entirely intoxicating that those limits are not defined as the things that we are determined to surpass, but the point at which we begin the surpassing.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“I am confident that God does exactly what He says He does. But I am also sorely aware of the fact that the limitations of my humanity struggle in their ability to embrace the limitlessness of the things He does. Therefore, I am forever thankful that my limits never define His, but that His will never cease to expand mine.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

“In the theatre's dark, he weighs up what to do out of love. There have been enough divergences so far for him to believe that Sophia's play is a self-contained thing that may only tangentially concern him.”
Jo Hamya, The Hypocrite

Dejan Stojanovic
“The Absolute is “finite� but infinite in its potential. This statement is only theoretical because there is no finitude or infinity in the Absolute without the world as we see it, for the Absolute is limitless beyond the spatial and temporal realm. We can think of limitlessness, infinity, and finitude only in the context of their potential.”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

Dejan Stojanovic
“Nothing represented by a number is absolute; every number is divisible. When divided, it stays the same in the volume of its limited absolute, which lives in its relative volumes. Even one can be divided into “infinity�; not only the Absolute or the Absolute One, but a “small,� “regular� one can be divided within itself almost without a limit.”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

Dejan Stojanovic
“The point where the One cannot be further divided is the gateway to infinity, which is Zero. If we imagine this point is the Plank length, the “point� beyond it is the spotless spot or pointless point of the Being, immaterial and Zero. The Big Bang is the whisper of awakening eternity, awakening ultimate Being, essence. The Big Bang is the ultimate kiss between the Being and the Nonbeing, lovemaking from which their child, the Universe, is born.”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

Dejan Stojanovic
“Limits provide the means to form. Without limits, there are no forms; the universe loses its meaning. On the other hand, limitless cannot have a form and cannot be formed; it is chaotic and meaningless.”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

Dejan Stojanovic
“We mostly envision infinity as something beyond our reach and in outer space. However, if it existed, infinity would have to expand on a micro-level within something we may imagine as the inner space. If we say it this way, infinity cannot be only outside; it must also be “inside� with no end to the material universe anywhere in outer space and on its micro-level. It also means that, if we simplify the idea, the tiniest particles, quarks, “strings,� or waves, would be larger, compared to what they contain within themselves, than the visible Universe in comparison to us.”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

Dejan Stojanovic
“The only “thing� without any properties is absolute void, without the Universe in it. This void, or absolute vacuum, has no beginning, end, or time; therefore, it lacks limits and limitations. This featureless void is more limited than anything we can imagine. It is the same everywhere; it is not even infinitesimal. It is nonexistent, yet nonexistence is the greatest limit of all.”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE
