Jack London
“But I am I, and I won't subordinate my taste to the unanimous judgment of mankind. If I don't like a thing, I don't like it, that's all; and there is no reason under the sun why I should ape a liking for it just because the majority of my fellow-creatures like it, or make believe they like it. I can't follow the fashions in the things I like or dislike.”
Jack London, Martin Eden

Billy Collins
My Hero

Just as the hare is zipping across the finish line,
the tortoise has stopped once again
by the roadside,
this time to stick out his neck
and nibble a bit of sweet grass,
unlike the previous time
when he was distracted
by a bee humming in the heart of a wildflower.”
Billy Collins, Horoscopes for the Dead

Tarjei Vesaas
“Words, words.
No more words now.
Here is my thirsting hand.”
Tarjei Vesaas, The Boat in the Evening

Michael Ondaatje
“we order our lives with barely held stories”
Michael Ondaatje, Warlight

Carl Sagan
“Or perhaps they are here, but in hiding because of some Lex Galactica , some ethic of noninterference with emerging civilizations. We can imagine them, curious and dispassionate, observing us, as we would watch a bacterial culture in a dish of agar, to determine whether this year again, we manage to avoid self-destruction.”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos
