Leo Tolstoy
“He liked fishing and seemed to take pride in being able to like such a stupid occupation.”
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Stieg Larsson
“Much stronger boys in her class soon learned that it could be quite unpleasant to fight with that skinny girl. Unlike other girls in the class, she never backed down, and she would not for a second hesitate to use her fists or any weapon at hand to protect herself. She went around with the attitude that she would rather be beaten to death than take any shit.”
Stieg Larsson, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Virgil
“It is easy to go down into Hell...; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air---there's the rub...”
Virgil

Sara Gruen
“Age is a terrible thief. Just when you're getting the hang of life, it knocks your legs out from under you and stoops your back.”
Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants

Aldous Huxley
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution”
Aldous Huxley
