Jane Austen
“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Franz Kafka
“I am a cage, in search of a bird.”
Franz Kafka

William Shakespeare
“With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.”
William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Stephen  King
“If,” Roland said. “An old teacher of mine used to call it the only word a thousand letters long.”
Stephen King, Wolves of the Calla

W.H. Auden
“The desires of the heart are as crooked as corkscrews
Not to be born is the best for man
The second best is a formal order
The dance's pattern, dance while you can.
Dance, dance, for the figure is easy
The tune is catching and will not stop
Dance till the stars come down from the rafters
Dance, dance, dance till you drop.”
W.H. Auden
