There is nothing nicer than nodding off while reading. Going fast asleep and then being woken by the crash of the book on the floor, then saying to yourself, well it doesn't matter much. An admirable feeling. A. J. P. Taylor
So many vows … they make you swear and swear. Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It’s too much. No matter what you do, you’re forsaking one vow or another. George R. R. Martin
I was no fool; I was aware that when another man is too anxious to force money on one, it is time to examine the cards, for there is almost certainly something illegal, or dangerous, or both, involved in the matter. Robert A. Heinlein
With regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them. Galileo Galilei

I mean, they're nice, but hardly exotic with their endless bickering over the best way to combat indigestion or how far back to sit from the television set. Woody Allen
We wish to find the truth, no matter where it lies. But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact. Carl Sagan
John Gresham Machen quote: "What is today a matter of academic speculation begins tomorrow..."
What is today a matter of academic speculation begins tomorrow to move armies and pull down empires. John Gresham Machen
