“How pleasant it is to spend an evening this way! I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than a book!- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library”
| — | Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice |
“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.”
| — | J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit |
“I am unmoved by daily pictures of the dead.
A poet sings of toads and strikes straight at my heart.”
— Jee Leong Koh, “Heart Ghazal” from “A Lover’s Recourse” (from Seven Studies for a Self Portrait)
