“Nothing frustrates me more than someone who reads something of mine or anyone else's and says, angrily, 'I don't buy it.' Why are they angry? Good writing does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuade. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone else's head—even if in the end you conclude that someone else's head is not a place you'd really like to be.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, What the Dog Saw and Other Adventures

“It was a night so beautiful that your soul seemed hardly able to bear the prison of the body.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, The Moon and Sixpence

“Gratitude is the great multiplier.”
― Rhonda Byrne, The Power

“And for all I know he is sitting there still, under his favorite cork tree, smelling the flowers just quietly”
― Munro Leaf, The Story of Ferdinand
