Quote by Аркадий Стругацкий

“— Горан Ируканский в "Истории Пришествия" писал: "Когда бог, спустившись с неба, вышел к народу из Питанских болот, ноги его были в грязи". — За что Горана и сожгли, — мрачно сказал Румата. — Да, сожгли. А сказано это про нас. Я здесь пятнадцать лет. Я, голубчик, уж и сны про Землю видеть перестал. Как-то, роясь в бумагах, нашел фотографию одной женщины и долго не мог сообразить, кто же она такая. Иногда я вдруг со страхом осознаю, что я уже давно не сотрудник Института, я экспонат музея этого Института, генеральный судья торговой феодальной республики, и есть в музее зал, куда меня следует поместить. Вот что самое страшное — войти в роль.”

“Now therefore, while the youthful hue Sits on thy skin like morning dew, And while thy willing soul transpires At every pore with instant fires, Now let us sport us while we may, And now, like amorous birds of prey, Rather at once our time devour Than languish in his slow-chapped power. Let us roll all our strength and all Our sweetness up into one ball, And tear our pleasures with rough strife Thorough the iron gates of life: Thus, though we cannot make our sun Stand still, yet we will make him run.”

“Change. It's needed, but maybe not in the way that we think it's needed. It seems that we need to be thoughtful about the values that we've embraced because of the ethics that we've discarded. We need to challenge the apathy that we've fallen into because of the convictions that we've fallen out of. Make no mistake about it, the collapse of the world around us began with the darkening of the souls within us. Therefore, it's not about changing a nation that's in turmoil out there. It's about changing a soul that's gone dark in here.”
