Dorothy Parker
“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

Amitav Ghosh
“The truth is, sir, that men do what their power permits them to do. We are no different from the Pharaohs or the Mongols: the difference is only that when we kill people we feel compelled to pretend that it is for some higher cause. It is this pretence of virtue, I promise you, that will never be forgiven by history.”
Amitav Ghosh, Sea of Poppies

Alice Walker
“No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.”
Alice Walker

George Eliot
“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?”
George Eliot

Frances Hodgson Burnett
“Two things cannot be in one place. Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett
