Homer
“[I]t is the wine that leads me on,
the wild wine
that sets the wisest man to sing
at the top of his lungs,
laugh like a fool – it drives the
man to dancing... it even
tempts him to blurt out stories
better never told.”
Homer, The Odyssey

Hilary Mantel
“It is not the stars that make us, Dr. Butts, it is circumstance and necessita, the choices we make under pressure; our virtues make us, but virtues are not enough, we must deploy our vices at times. Or don't you agree?”
Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall

Homer
“Each man delights in the work that suits him best.”
Homer, The Odyssey

Christopher Hitchens
“We live only a few conscious decades, and we fret ourselves enough for several lifetimes.”
Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

Peter Matthiessen
“And as the wary dogs skirt past, we nod, grimace, and resume our paths to separate destinies and graves.”
Peter Matthiessen, The Snow Leopard
