David Foster Wallace
“I believe it is better to pay attention and to try to make your language as beautiful and graceful and adroit as possible.”
David Foster Wallace, Quack This Way

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The Lord: Whilst still man strives, still must he stray”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Faust: What cheerful light breaks on my gloomy
fancies,
As in the midnight woods when moonlight
floods the skies?”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust

Søren Kierkegaard
“What I lack is physical energy – to be lazy. My energy is spiritual and all I can do with it is work.”
Søren Kierkegaard, Papers and Journals: A Selection

David Foster Wallace
“My main deficit, at least in terms of nonfiction prose, is I have difficulty of being as clear as I want to be. I have various tricks for working around that and making it kind of charming to watch somebody trying to be clear, but the fact of the matter is, I can’t be clear and compressed in the way that, say, parts of the preface of your dictionary that I liked very much are clear and compressed.”
David Foster Wallace, Quack This Way
