Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering...”
Fyodor Dostoevsky

John Knowles
“This was the tree, and it seemed to me standing there to resemble those men, the giants of your childhood, whom you encounter years later and find that they are not merely smaller in relation to your growth, but they are absolutely smaller, shrunken by age. In this double demotion the old giants have become pygmies while you were looking the other way.”
John Knowles, A Separate Peace

Douglas Adams
“It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression, 'As pretty as an airport.”
Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

George Eliot
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
George Eliot
