De Nobis Fabula Narratur [Latin] - About Us Is the Story Told

No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there always come interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individuals. - Frank Herbert: Dune Messiah, from The Tleilaxu Godbuk

Quo Vadis? [Latin] - Where Are You Going?

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go. - Dr. Seuss
