What is the point?' The point is to keep them from dying for as long as you can.' Yeah, but what's the point, since they all have to die anyway?' The trick is not to think about that. Joseph Heller

This is the gift of your species and this is the danger, because you do not choose to control your imaginings. You imagine wonderful things and you imagine terrible things, and you take no responsibility for the choice. You say you have inside you both the power of good and the power of evil, the angel and the devil, but in truth you have just one thing inside you - the ability to imagine. Michael Crichton
One viewed the existence of man then as a marvel, and conceded a glamour of wonder to these lice which were caused to cling to a whirling, fire-smote, ice-locked, disease-stricken, space-lost bulb. Stephen Crane
How many times have I wondered if it is really possible to forge links with a mass of people when one has never had strong feelings for anyone, not even one's own parents: if it is possible to have a collectivity when one has not been deeply loved oneself by individual human creatures. Hasn't this had some effect on my life as a militant--has it not tended to make me sterile and reduce my quality as a revolutionary by making everything a matter of pure intellect, of pure mathematical...

C. S. Lewis quote: "I sometimes wonder if all pleasures are not substitutes for joy."
I sometimes wonder if all pleasures are not substitutes for joy. C. S. Lewis

A story must have some points of contact with the reader to make him feel at home in it. Only then can he accept wonders. John Steinbeck
