George Bernard Shaw
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world around him; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
George Bernard Shaw

Vladimir Nabokov
“You are the only person I can talk with about the shade of a cloud, about the song of a thought...”
Vladimir Nabokov

Faiz Ahmad Faiz
“Before you came,
things were as they should be:
the sky was the dead-end of sight,
the road was just a road, wine merely wine.

Now everything is like my heart,
a color at the edge of blood:
the grey of your absence, the color of poison, of thorns,
the gold when we meet, the season ablaze,
the yellow of autumn, the red of flowers, of flames,
and the black when you cover the earth
with the coal of dead fires.

And the sky, the road, the glass of wine?
The sky is a shirt wet with tears,
the road a vein about to break,
and the glass of wine a mirror in which
the sky, the road, the world keep changing.

Don’t leave now that you’re here—
Stay. So the world may become like itself again:
so the sky may be the sky,
the road a road,
and the glass of wine not a mirror, just a glass of wine.”
Faiz Ahmad Faiz, 100 Poems by Faiz Ahmed Fiza

George R.R. Martin
“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness.”
George R.R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire, 5-Book Boxed Set: A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons

Guillaume Apollinaire
“How slow life is, how violent hope is.”
Guillaume Apollinaire
