To do such a thing would be to transcend magic. And I beheld, unclouded by doubt, a magnificent vision of all that invisibility might mean to a man - the mystery, the power, the freedom. Drawbacks
by H. G. Wells
(0 Reviews)

The quote reflects on the profound implications of invisibility, suggesting that achieving such a state could elevate one beyond the realm of ordinary magic. This idea evokes a sense of awe and wonder, as the narrator envisions the myriad possibilities that accompany invisibility, including newfound strength and liberation from societal constraints. It hints at the desirable, yet complex, nature of such a power.

However, the potential drawbacks of invisibility are also implied. While it offers freedom and mystery, it also raises ethical concerns and personal dilemmas, highlighting the dichotomy between the allure of power and the responsibilities that come with it. In H.G. Wells' "The Invisible Man," the exploration of these themes reveals the character's internal struggles and the consequences of wielding such extraordinary abilities.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

The nun said, I can forgive the language. I'm not sure I can forgive your making an obscene gesture at your mother. Ya gotta know her, Holland said. If you knew her, you'd give her the finger, too.
