Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

P.G. Wodehouse
“A certain critic -- for such men, I regret to say, do exist -- made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained 'all the old Wodehouse characters under different names.' He has probably by now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have out-generalled the man this time by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy.”
P.G. Wodehouse, Summer Moonshine

Artemus Ward
“Let us all be happy and live within our means, Even if we have to borrow money to do it with.”
Artemus Ward

Raymond Chandler
“Some days I feel like playing it smooth. Some days I feel like playing it like a waffle iron.”
Raymond Chandler, Trouble Is My Business

Joan Robinson
“The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.”
Joan Robinson
