Time . . . strange stuff," mused Thomas. "Time is the central mystery of our existence. It confines and defines us in many ways. We are obedient to its inexorable mechanism throughout our lives, and yet we know almost nothing about it. Why does it flow in only one direction? What is it made of ? How is it regulated? Is it everywhere the same for everyone? Or might its substance or speed be altered by mechanisms as yet undiscovered?
~ Stephen R. Lawhead
È stato allora che ho capito il significato magico del cerchio. Quando si è allontanati da una fila, è ancora possibile reinserirsi. La fila è una formazione aperta. Ma il cerchio si richiude e non ci si può tornare. Non per caso i pianeti si muovono in cerchio, e la pietra che se ne stacca si allontana inesorabilmente, spinta dalla forza centrifuga. Simile a un meteorite staccatosi da un pianeta, io sono precipitato dal cerchio e non ho finito, ancora oggi, di cadere.
~ Milan Kundera

grab my medical textbook from the Land Cruiser and find beriberi next to scurvy and rickets. It says that in Ceylon beri, beri! meant 'I can't, I can't!' First you can't stand and then you can't even sit up and in the end you quietly succumb on your back. Progressive, inexorable weakness leading to death – it fits perfectly. We have an outbreak of beriberi.
~ Kenneth Cain

No, rebellion is what the Duke of Monmouth did, it is a petty disturbance, an aberration, predestined to fail. Revolution is like the wheeling of stars round the pole.

~ Neal Stephenson

It is not the sea that calls us back. What calls us is stronger and more inexorable than any current. I long for the sea, yes… but more, I long for the leaving. I am restless, I am ready, and the leaving whispers to me at night. It says that I will breathe easier when the air is full of fog and seagulls, that I will breathe easier when I am at the start of a story, rather than at the end.
~ Catherynne M. Valente
