George Bernard Shaw
“We must face the fact that society is founded on intolerance. [. . .] We may prate of toleration as we will; but society must always draw a line somewhere between allowable conduct and insanity or crime, in spite of the risk of mistaking sages for lunatics and saviours for blasphemers. We must persecute, even to the death; and all we can do to mitigate the danger of persecution is, first, to be very careful what we persecute, and second, to bear in mind that unless there is a large liberty to shock conventional people, and a well informed sense of the value of originality, individuality, and eccentricity, the result will be apparent stagnation covering a repression of evolutionary forces which will eventually explode with extravagant and probably destructive violence.”
George Bernard Shaw, Saint Joan

Victor Hugo
“The utmost extremity of degradation is the obscene merriment to which it gives rise.”
Victor Hugo

Ursula K. Le Guin
“And he began to see the truth, that Ged had neither lost nor won but, naming the shadow of his death with his own name, had made himself whole: a man who, knowing his whole true self, cannot be used or possessed by any power other than himself, and whose life therefore is lived for life's sake and never in the service of ruin, or pain, or hatred, or the dark.”
Ursula K. Le Guin

Robert Charles Wilson
“You must not make the mistake of thinking that because nothing lasts, nothing matters.”
Robert Charles Wilson, Julian Comstock: A Story of 22nd-Century America

Scott Lynch
“Advice," Doña Vorchenza chuckled. "Advice. The years play a sort of alchemical trick, transmuting one's mutterings to a state of respectability. Give advice at forty and you're a nag. Give it at seventy and you're a sage.”
Scott Lynch, The Lies of Locke Lamora
