Quote by Diana Gabaldon

“It's the anonymity of the war that makes the killing possible. When the nameless dead are named again on tombstone and on cenotaph, then they regain the identity they lost as soldiers, and take their place in grief and memory, the ghosts of sons and lovers.”

“La modernidad, en cambio, se basa en la firme creencia de que el crecimiento económico no solo es posible, sino que es absolutamente esencial. Las oraciones, las buenas obras y la meditación pueden ser reconfortantes e inspiradoras, pero problemas tales como el hambre, la peste y la guerra solo pueden resolverse por medio del crecimiento.”

“On Hope God forbid I talk about hope, it's so cliché. Not that it doesn't exist, but it has become just that. In a world of ready-made things, any effort is banal. It must be delivered in liquid form, Bauman and his diabolical lack of concreteness, Liquid hope? No, a lack of concrete hope. Does it sound too romantic? Maybe it does, and also, resonates. Isn't resonating in souls the desire of every poet, every writer, every thinker? Is it only possible to resonate with that which is empty, empty of itself? Could it be that poets are nothing more than empty completions, resonating with one another? In fact, perhaps that’s what it is.”
