Plato
“If anyone comes to the gates of poetry and expects to become an adequate poet by acquiring expert knowledge of the subject without the Muses' madness, he will fail, and his self-controlled verses will be eclipsed by the poetry of men who have been driven out of their minds.”
Plato, Phaedrus

Slavoj Žižek
“Ideology is not a conceptual frame externally imposed on the wealth of reality, it is our experience of reality itself.”
Slavoj Žižek, Like A Thief In Broad Daylight: Power in the Era of Post-Human Capitalism

Aelred of Rievaulx
“Moreover, one should so respect a friend's presence that he dare not perform anything shameful or speak any unbecoming word, since any fault so reflects on a friend that the friend not only blushes and grieves inwardly but also reproaches himself with what he sees or hears, as if he had committed the sin himself.”
Aelred of Rievaulx, Spiritual Friendship

“A library is not a sign of accomplishment. It is a sign of desire.”
Jeffrey J. Kripal

Steven Moore
“When I first opened this book and saw all those scholarly footnotes, my heart leapt up as though I saw a host of golden daffodils.”
Steven Moore, The Novel: An Alternative History, 1600-1800
