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

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

Steven J. Lawson
“It was not for the entire world that Christ made atonement, for if He had, all the world would be saved.”
Steven J. Lawson, Foundations of Grace, 1400 BC – AD 100

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

G.K. Chesterton
“All government is representative government until it begins to decay. Unfortunately (as is also evident) all government begins to decay the instant it begins to actually govern. (From "A Miscellany of Men")”
Chesterton, G. K.
