Две цитаты. Одну напомнил в своём ЖЖ Михаил Назаренко:
цитата The Left Hand Of Darkness“The unknown,” said Faxe's soft voice in the forest, “the unforetold, the unproven, that is what life is based on. Ignorance is the ground of thought. Unproof is the ground of action. If it were proven that there is no God there would be no religion. No Handdara, no Yomesh, no hearthgods, nothing. But also if it were proven that there is a God, there would be no religion... Tell me, Genry, what is known? What is sure, predictable, inevitable-the one certain thing you know concerning your future, and mine?”
“That we shall die.”
“Yes. There's really only one question that can be answered, Genry, and we already know the answer. ... The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.”
Другую цитату мы все знаем:
цитата A Wizard of EarthseaOnly in silence the word,
only in dark the light
only in dying life:
bright the hawk's flight
on the empty sky
