Jonathan Franzen
“How wrong to have been so negative, how wrong to have been so gloomy, how wrong to have run away from life, how wrong to have said no, again and again, instead of yes.”
Jonathan Franzen

Edward Gibbon
“The five marks of the Roman decaying culture:

Concern with displaying affluence instead of building wealth;

Obsession with sex and perversions of sex;

Art becomes freakish and sensationalistic instead of creative and original;

Widening disparity between very rich and very poor;

Increased demand to live off the state.”
Edward Gibbon

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it.”
Ursula K. LeGuin, The Tombs of Atuan

P.J. O'Rourke
“Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.”
P. J. O'Rourke

Raymond E. Feist
“Life is problems. Living is solving problems.”
Raymond E. Feist, Silverthorn
