N.H. Kleinbaum
“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”
N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

Tad Williams
“And what about lovers, like in the stories? Do they get married?” “Oh, yes. And sometimes they stay in love, but sometimes they don’t. I would say it’s one of the more untrustworthy reasons for marriage.”
Tad Williams, The Witchwood Crown

Walter Moers
“No one who writes a good book is really dead.”
Walter Moers

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

L.M. Montgomery
“Despair is a free man—hope is a slave.”
L.M. Montgomery, The Blue Castle
