Toni Morrison
“So when I think of autumn, I think of somebody with hands who does not want me to die.”
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

Anne Frank
“I'm sentimental--I know. I'm desperate and silly--I know that too. Oh, help me!”
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Pablo Neruda
“I remembered you with my soul clenched”
Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair

Dalton Trumbo
“Of course a lot of guys were ashamed. Somebody said let's go out and fight for liberty and so they went out and got killed without ever once thinking of liberty. And what kind of liberty were they fighting for anyway? How much liberty and whose kind of liberty? Were they fighting for the liberty of eating free ice cream cones all their lives or for the liberty of robbing anybody they pleased whenever they wanted to or what? You tell a man he can't rob and you take away some of his liberty. You've got to. What the hell does liberty mean anyhow? It's a word like house or table or any other word. Only it's a special kind of word. A guy says house and he can point to a house to prove it. But a guy says come on let's fight for liberty and he can't show you liberty. He can't prove the thing he's talking about so how in the hell can he be telling you to fight for it? No sir anybody who went out and got into the front line trenches to fight for liberty was a goddamn fool and the guy who got him there was a liar.”
Dalton Trumbo, Johnny Got His Gun

Anne Brontë
“By his [God's] help I will arise and address myself diligently to my appointed duty. If happiness in this world is not for me, I will endeavor to promote the welfare of those around me, and my reward shall be hereafter.”
