“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
― George Orwell

“A good poem is a tautology. It expands one word by adding a number which clarify it, thus making a new word which has never before been spoken. The seedword is always so ordinary that hardly anyone perceives it. Classical odes grow from and or because, romantic lyrics from but and if. Immature verses expand a personal pronoun ad nauseam, the greatest works bring glory to a common verb. Good poems, therefore, are always close to banality, over which, however, they tower like precipices.”
― Alasdair Gray, Every Short Story, 1951-2012

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
― C.S. Lewis

“different, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.”
― Tyrone Reid, What Comes After Rock Bottom?: A Story of Surviving, Healing, and Embracing a New Beginning
