Quote from Ursula K. Le Guin, The Language of the Night: Essays on Fantasy and Science Fiction
I believe that maturity is not an outgrowing, but a growing up: that an adult is not a dead child, but a child who survived. I believe that all the best faculties of a mature human being exist in the child. . . . that one of the most deeply human, and humane, of these faculties is the power of imagination.
Quote from Nicolaus Copernicus
To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.

The ethos of redemption is realied in self-mastery, by means of temperance, that is, continence of desires.
Quote from Michael Crichton, Eaters of the Dead
Praise not the day until evening has come, a woman until she is burnt, a sword until it is tried, a maiden until she is married, ice until it has been crossed, beer until it has been drunk.
