“He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.”
― Rafael Sabatini, Scaramouche

“I was carried away, swept along by the mighty stream of words pouring from the hundreds of pages. To me it was the ultimate book: once you had read it, neither your own life nor the world you lived in would ever look the same.”

“People in general attach too much importance to words. They are under the illusion that talking effects great results.

When the distraction of the tongue is removed, the heart listens.”
― Theodore Dreiser, Sister Carrie
