Dorothy Parker
“Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, or a foe.

Dorothy Parker

George Orwell
“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”
George Orwell, 1984

William Shakespeare
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”
William Shakespeare, The Tempest

Mahatma Gandhi
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca
