"All are built, like Earth and everything on it, of chemical elements evolved from that original cloud amid the stars—even the oxygen in our lungs, the iron in our blood, the calcium in our bones. And so, in a way, we are all made of stardust."
- Roy A. Gallant, National Geographic Picture Atlas of Our Universe
"When I look up at the night sky, and I know that, yes, we are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up—many people feel small, because they’re small and the Universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars."
- Neil DeGrasse Tyson
"Uneven spacing is the worst evil. It is destructive of smooth reading and of dignity and quietness of effect."
- Percy J. Smith, Lettering: A Handbook of Modern Alphabets
"Everyone carries a room about inside them. This fact can even be proved by means of the sense of hearing. If someone walks fast and one pricks up one’s ears and listens, say at night, when everything round about is quiet, one hears, for instance, the rattling of a mirror not quite firmly fastened to the wall."
- Franz Kafka, The Blue Notebooks
"A hurt body and mind aren’t just like a dictatorship; they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion."
- Stephen King, Duma Key
"Everybody thought I was either going to be great, or nothing at all. They were right. It depends who you ask."
