Victor Hugo
“Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.”
Victor Hugo

Euripides
“Come, God --
Bromius, Bacchus, Dionysus --
burst into life, burst
into being, be a mighty bull,
a hundred-headed snake,
a fire-breathing lion.
Burst into smiling life, oh Bacchus!”
Euripides, The Bacchae

Hunter S. Thompson
“Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.”
Hunter S. Thompson

Niccolò Machiavelli
“…he who seeks to deceive will always find someone who will allow himself to be deceived.”
Machiavelli Niccolo, The Prince

Jonathan Swift
“Books, the children of the brain.”
Jonathan Swift, A Tale of a Tub and Other Writings
