Ayn Rand
“Look, Gail." Roark got up, reached out, tore a thick branch off a tree, held it in both hands, one fist closed at each end; then, his wrists and knuckles tensed against the resistance, he bent the branch slowly into an arc. "Now I can make what I want of it: a bow, a spear, a cane, a railing. That's the meaning of life."

"Your strength?"

"Your work." He tossed the branch aside. "The material the earth offers you and what you make of it . . . ”
Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

Umberto Eco
“Love is wiser than wisdom.”
Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

Terry Pratchett
“Silence is an answer that begs three more questions.”
Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum

Amy Hempel
“When the beer is gone, so are they -- flexing their cars on up the boulevard.”
Amy Hempel

William Faulkner
“...lifeless and shockingly alien in that place where dissolution itself was a seething turmoil of ejaculation tumescence conception and birth, and death did not even exit.”
William Faulkner, Go Down, Moses
