Thornton Wilder
“We ourselves shall be loved for awhile and forgotten. But the love will have been enough; all those impulses
of love return to the love that made them. Even memory is not necessary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.”
Thornton Wilder, The Bridge of San Luis Rey

Richard Siken
“Actually, you said Love, for you,
is larger than the usual romantic love. It’s like a religion. It’s
terrifying. No one
will ever want to sleep with you.”
Richard Siken, Crush

Mark Twain
“But who prays for Satan? Who in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most, our one fellow and brother who most needed a friend yet had not a single one, the one sinner among us all who had the highest and clearest right to every Christian's daily and nightly prayers, for the plain and unassailable reason that his was the first and greatest need, he being among sinners the supremest?”
Mark Twain

James Leo Herlihy
“There is no Beatitude for the lonesome.
The Book doesn't say they are blessed.”
James Leo Herlihy, Midnight Cowboy

T.H. White
“It is so fatally easy to make young children believe that they are horrible.”
T.H. White, The Once and Future King
