Michael Pollan
“Experiences that banish irony are much better for living than for writing.”
Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

Michael Ondaatje
“And it would be a spare life he would be certain to lead as a schoolteacher in some urban location. But he had a serenity that came with the choice of the life he wanted to live. And this serenity and certainty I have seen only among those who have the armour of books close by.”
Michael Ondaatje, The Cat's Table

Alexandre Dumas
“It's necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

William Shakespeare
“Et tu, Brute?”
William Shakespeare , Julius Caesar

Max Nowaz
“Being magnanimous in victory usually worked, but to keep abreast of the situation he had to 
pump the girl for all she knew. Was there a pang of remorse for his actions in his mind? 
Possibly, but what choice did he have? If he wanted to survive, he had no room for weakness.”
Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator
