“I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker. ”

Voltaire (1694–1778) French writer, historian, and philosopher

“You see, I went on with this research just the way it led me. That is the only way I ever heard of true research going. I asked a question, devised some method of obtaining an answer, and got — a fresh question. Was this possible or that possible? You cannot imagine what this means to an investigator, what an intellectual passion grows upon him! You cannot imagine the strange, colourless delight of these intellectual desires!”

H. G. Wells book The Island of Doctor Moreau

“What else can I do to piss you off? (Acheron)
You can leave me. (Tory)
I would never do that, Tory. No one can live without their heart and that’s what you are to me. (Acheron)”

Sherrilyn Kenyon (1965) Novelist

“If you kill such a one as I am, you will injure yourselves more than you will injure me. Meletus and Anytus will not injure me: they cannot; for it is not in the nature of things that a bad man should injure one better than himself. I do not deny that he may, perhaps, kill him, or drive him into exile, or deprive him of civil rights; and he may imagine, and others may imagine, that he is doing him a great injury: but in that I do not agree with him; for the evil of doing what Anytus is doing — of unjustly taking away another man's life — is greater far.”

Socrates (-470–-399 BC) classical Greek Athenian philosopher
