C.S. Lewis
“Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end submit with ever fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Lewis Carroll
“And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?”
Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

Lydia Davis
“I am simply not interested, at this point, in creating narrative scenes between characters.”
Lydia Davis

Dion Fortune
“What you contemplate, you touch. What you enter into in imagination, you make yourself one with.”
Dion Fortune, Principles of Esoteric Healing

Fleur Jaeggy
“I still thought that to get something you had to go straight for your goal whereas it is only distractions, uncertainty, distance that bring us closer to our targets, and then it is the targets which strike us.”
Fleur Jaeggy, Sweet Days of Discipline
