    Gary Paulsen
    “Why do I read?
    I just can't help myself.
    I read to learn and to grow, to laugh
    and to be motivated.
    I read to understand things I've never
    been exposed to.
    I read when I'm crabby, when I've just
    said monumentally dumb things to the
    people I love.
    I read for strength to help me when I
    feel broken, discouraged, and afraid.
    I read when I'm angry at the whole
    world.
    I read when everything is going right.
    I read to find hope.
    I read because I'm made up not just of
    skin and bones, of sights, feelings,
    and a deep need for chocolate, but I'm
    also made up of words.
    Words describe my thoughts and what's
    hidden in my heart.
    Words are alive--when I've found a
    story that I love, I read it again and
    again, like playing a favorite song
    over and over.
    Reading isn't passive--I enter the
    story with the characters, breathe
    their air, feel their frustrations,
    scream at them to stop when they're
    about to do something stupid, cry with
    them, laugh with them.
    Reading for me, is spending time with a
    friend.
    A book is a friend.
    You can never have too many.”
    Gary Paulsen, Shelf Life: Stories by the Book

    Susanna Kaysen

    Susanna Kaysen

    Arthur Rimbaud
    “Love...no such thing.

    Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that's not love. That's stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn't exist.

    Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain.”
    Arthur Rimbaud, A Season in Hell and The Drunken Boat

    Gerald B. Gardner
    “O Moon that rid'st the night to wake
    Before the dawn is pale,
    The hamadryad in the brake,
    The Satyr in the vale,
    Caught in thy net of shadows
    What dreams hast thou to show?
    Who treads the silent meadows
    To worship thee below?
    The patter of the rain is hushed,
    The wind's wild dance is done,
    Cloud-mountains ruby-red were flushed
    About the setting sun:
    And now beneath thy argent beam
    The wildwood standeth still,
    Some spirit of an ancient dream
    Breathes from the silent hill.

    Witch-Goddess Moon, thy spell invokes
    The Ancient Ones of night,
    Once more the old stone altar smokes,
    The fire is glimmering bright.
    Scattered and few thy children be,
    Yet gather we unknown
    To dance the old round merrily
    About the time-worn stone.
    We ask no Heaven, we fear no Hell,
    Nor mourn our outcast lot,
    Treading the mazes of a spell
    By priests and men forgot.”
    Gerald B. Gardner, The Meaning of Witchcraft
