Mark Twain
“′Classic′ - a book which people praise and don't read.”
Mark Twain

C.S. Lewis
“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
C.S. Lewis

G.K. Chesterton
“Sex and breathing are about the only two things that generally work best when they are least worried about. That, I suppose, is why the same sophisticated age that has poisoned the world with Feminism is also polluting it with Breathing Exercises.”
G. K. Chesterton

Joseph Conrad
“I am saddened by the modern system of advertising. Whatever evidence it offers of enterprise, ingenuity, impudence, and resource in certain individuals, it proves to my mind the wide prevalence of that form of mental degradation which is called gullibility. [An anarchist]”
Joseph Conrad, A Set of Six

Nathaniel Hawthorne
“A stale article, if you did it in a good, warm, sunny smile will go off better than a fresh one that you've scowled upon.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The House of the Seven Gables
