Michael Shaara
“And yet suddenly, terribly, he wanted it again, the way it used to be, arms linked together, all drunk and singing beautifully into the night, with visions of death from the afternoon and dreams of death in the coming dawn, the night filled with a monstrous and temporary glittering joy, fat moments, thick seconds dropping like warm rain, jewel after jewel.”
Michael Shaara, The Killer Angels

Henry David Thoreau
“Men have become the tools of their tools. Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul. Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.”
Henry David Thoreau

Aravind Adiga
“العمود الفقري لأبي حبل معقود .، مثل ذلك النوع من الحبال التي تستخدمها النساء في القرية لسحب الماء من الآبار،

الترقوة منحنية جول رقبته ببروز عالٍ، مثل طوق الكلب ، ثمة جروح و حزوز وندوب تشبه آثار السوط في جسده، تهبط من صدره إلى وسطه حتى عجيزته .. إن قصة الرجل الفقير مكتوبة على جسده بقلم حاد .”
Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

Richard  Adams
“Odysseus...sleeps sound beside Calypso and when he wakes thinks only of Penelope.”
Richard Adams, Watership Down

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.”
Goethe/J.W.
