Lionel Shriver
“...never lie about my age because I want credit for every damned year.”
Lionel Shriver

Euripides
“You have navigated with raging soul far from the paternal home, passing beyond the seas' double rocks and now you inhabit a foreign land.”
Euripedes, The Plays of Euripides, Volume 1

Emem Uko
“It's the journey that matters, soak it in. Learn lessons out of it. Impact positively so that if you never get to your destination, at least you'd leave a legacy to be remembered.”
Emem Uko

Erich Segal
“I mean, imagine for a second Olivero Barretto, some nice Italian kid from down the block in Cranston, Rhode Island. He comes to see Mr. Cavilleri, a wage-earning pastry chef of that city, and says, "I would like to marry your only daughter, Jennifer." What would the old man's first question be? (He would not question Barretto's love, since to know Jenny is to love Jenny; it's a universal truth). No, Mr. Cavilleri would say something like, "Barretto, how are you going to support her?”
Erich Segal

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Do you realize that all great literature — "Moby Dick," "Huckleberry Finn," "A Farewell to Arms," "The Scarlet Letter," "The Red Badge of Courage," "The Iliad and The Odyssey," "Crime and Punishment," the Bible, and "The Charge of the Light Brigade" — are all about what a bummer it is to be a ...human being?”
Kurt Vonnegut
