Book cover for Uprooted
truth didn’t mean anything without someone to share it with; you could shout truth into the air forever, and spend your life doing it, if someone didn’t come and listen.

J.D. Salinger
“That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "Fuck you." I'm positive, in fact.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Jane Austen
“Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure.”
Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

Percy Bysshe Shelley
“The sunlight claps the earth, and the moonbeams kiss the sea: what are all these kissings worth, if thou kiss not me?”
Percy Bysshe Shelley

E.M. Forster
“The armour of falsehood is subtly wrought out of darkness, and hides a man not only from others, but from his own soul.”
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

Milan Kundera
“The very beginning of Genesis tells us that God created man in order to give him dominion over fish and fowl and all creatures. Of course, Genesis was written by a man, not a horse. There is no certainty that God actually did grant man dominion over other creatures. What seems more likely, in fact, is that man invented God to sanctify the dominion that he had usurped for himself over the cow and the horse.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
