Haruki Murakami
“Balzac, Dante, Joseph Conrad, Dickens," he answered without hesitation.
"Not Exactly fashionable."
"That's why I read them. If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. That's the world of hicks and slobs. Real people would be ashamed of themselves doing that. Haven't you noticed, Watanabe? You and I are the only real ones in this dorm. The other guys are crap.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Anthony Trollope
“There is no cholera, no yellow-fever, no small-pox more contagious than debt.”
Anthony Trollope, Framley Parsonage

Herman Melville
“Eternally inexorable and unconcerned is Fate, a mere heartless trader in men’s joys and woes.”
Herman Melville, Pierre; or, The Ambiguities

Ernest Hemingway
“First, there must be talent, much talent. Talent such as Kipling had. Then there must be discipline. The discipline of Flaubert. Then there must be the conception of what it can be and an absolute conscience as unchanging as the standard meter in Paris, to prevent faking. Then the writer must be intelligent and disinterested and above all he must survive. Try to get all these things in one person and have him come through all the influences that press on a writer. The hardest thing, because time is so short, is for him to survive and get his work done.”
Ernest Hemingway

Andrew Marvell
“Fair Quiet, have I found thee here,
And Innocence, thy sister dear!
Mistaken long, I sought you then
In busy companies of men;
Your sacred plants, if here below,
Only among the plants will grow.
Society is all but rude,
To this delicious solitude.”
Andrew Marvell
