Martin Luther King Jr.
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

“[He] fell right into the oldest conviction in the world-- that the girl you are in love with can't possibly be anything but true and honest.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“but for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short.”
Jane Austen

Leo Tolstoy
“Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?”
