“Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

“People," Geralt turned his head, "like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“Demek ki bulantı bu: göz kamaştırıcı bu apaçıklık. Üzerinde kafa patlattım. Yazılar yazdım. Şimdi biliyorum. Varım (dünya da var) ve dünyanın var olduğunu biliyorum. Hepsi bu. Benim için önemli değil. Benim için hiçbir şeyin önemi olmaması çok acayip, korkuyorum bundan.”
― Jean Paul Sartre
