W. Somerset Maugham
“One cannot find peace in work or in pleasure, in the world or in a convent, but only in one's soul.”
William Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil

Frank Zappa
“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa

Jean-Paul Sartre
“I am alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. All these creatures spend their time explaining, realizing happily that they agree with each other. In Heaven's name, why is it so important to think the same things all together. ”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Cyril Connolly
“While thoughts exist, words are alive and literature becomes an escape, not from, but into living.”
Cyril Connolly, The Unquiet Grave: A Word Cycle by Palinurus

Virginia Woolf
“How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves
