Sun Tzu
“Sun Tzu said: In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to capture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Jack Kerouac
“It's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Virginia Woolf
“Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

Jeffrey Archer
“An unguarded comment often proves every bit as valuable as a response to a direct question.”
Jeffrey Archer, Be Careful What You Wish For

David Foster Wallace
“To be a mass tourist, for me,...is, in lines and gridlock and transaction after transaction, to confront a dimension of yourself that is as inescapable as it is painful: As a tourist, you become economically significant but existentially loathsome, an insect on a dead thing.”
David Foster Wallace, Consider the Lobster and Other Essays
