Lin Yutang
“The purpose of a short story is ... that the reader shall come away with the satisfactory feeling that a particular insight into human character has been gained, or that his (or her) knowledge of life has been deepened, or that pity, love or sympathy for a human being is awakened. ”
Lin Yutang

George Bernard Shaw
“Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great.”
George Bernard Shaw

Carl Sagan
“We all have a thirst for wonder. It's a deeply human quality. Science and religion are both bound up with it. What I'm saying is, you don't have to make stories up, you don't have to exaggerate. There's wonder and awe enough in the real world. Nature's a lot better at inventing wonders than we are.”
Carl Sagan, Contact

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“It is easy to tell the toiler
How best he can carry his pack
But no one can rate a burden's weight
Until it has been on his back”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Wallace Stegner
“Wherever you find the greatest good, you will find the greatest evil, because evil loves paradise as much as good.”
Wallace Stegner, All the Little Live Things
