Aldo Leopold
“What a thousand acres of Silphiums looked like when they tickled the bellies of the buffalo is a question never again to be answered, and perhaps not even asked.”
Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There

Emily Brontë
“A che scopo esisterei, se fossi tutta contenuta in me stessa? I miei grandi dolori, in questo mondo, sono stati i dolori di Heathcliff, io li ho tutti indovinati e sentiti dal principio. Il mio gran pensiero, nella vita, è lui. Se tutto il resto perisse e lui restasse, io potrei continuare ad esistere; ma se tutto il resto durasse e lui fosse annientato, il mondo diverrebbe, per me, qualche cosa di immensamente estraneo: avrei l'impressione di no farne più parte.”
Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

Robert Graves
“There’s no money in poetry, but then there’s no poetry in money, either.”
Robert Graves

“As I always used to tell Thomas Wolfe, there are three things you just can’t do in life. You can’t beat the phone company, you can’t make a waiter see you until he’s ready to see you, and you can’t go home again.”
Bill Bryson, The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America

Bram Stoker
“Faith, that faculty which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue.”
Bram Stoker, Dracula
