“All about her, as suddenly as the awakening from a dream, the nothingness had opened out into undreamed-of distances.”

C. L. Moore (1911–1987) American author

Black God's Kiss (1934)
Context: All about her, as suddenly as the awakening from a dream, the nothingness had opened out into undreamed-of distances. She stood high on a hilltop under a sky spangled with strange stars. Below she caught glimpses of misty plains and valleys with mountain peaks rising far away. And at her feet a ravening circle of small, slavering, blind things leaped with clashing teeth.

“The bomb was necessary to awaken England from her dreams.”

Bhagat Singh (1907–1931) Indian revolutionary

As Quoted in Part of Bhagat Singh's statement during his trial.
Context: The bomb was necessary to awaken England from her dreams. We dropped the bomb on the floor of the assembly chamber to register our protest on behalf of those who had no other means left to give expression to their heart-rending agony. Our sole purpose was to make the deaf hear and give the heedless a timely warning. Others have as keenly felt as we have done and from such seeming stillness of the sea of Indian humanity, a veritable storm is about to break out.
