Arundhati Roy
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

Thomas Paine
“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.”
Thomas Paine, Common Sense

George R.R. Martin
“A true man does what he will, not what he must.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

W.B. Yeats
“We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but out of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.”
William Butler Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

George Orwell
“The best books... are those that tell you what you know already.”
George Orwell, 1984
