W.H. Auden
“Beloved, we are always in the wrong,
Handling so clumsily our stupid lives,
Suffering too little or too long,
Too careful even in our selfish loves:
The decorative manias we obey
Die in grimaces round us every day,
Yet through their tohu-bohu comes a voice
Which utters an absurd command - Rejoice. ”
W.H. Auden, The Collected Poetry of W. H. Auden.

John Donne
“He that desires to print a book, should much more desire, to be a book.”
John Donne

Winston S. Churchill
“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”
Winston S. Churchill

George Eliot
“..for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

W.H. Auden
“We would rather be ruined than changed
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.”
W H Auden, The Age of Anxiety: A Baroque Eclogue
