Harold Bloom
“Reading the very best writers—let us say Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Tolstoy—is not going to make us better citizens. Art is perfectly useless, according to the sublime Oscar Wilde, who was right about everything. He also told us that all bad poetry is sincere. Had I the power to do so, I would command that these words be engraved above every gate at every university, so that each student might ponder the splendor of the insight.”
Harold Bloom, The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages

J.R.R. Tolkien
“May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

Novalis
“Philosophy is really nostalgia, the desire to be at home.”
Novalis

Jacques Derrida
“Such a caring for death, an awakening that keeps vigil over death, a conscience that looks death in the face, is another name for freedom.”
Jacques Derrida

Jean-François Lyotard
“My professor, he reminded us of Kant: to think by oneself, to think in accordance with oneself. Today they say that's logocentric, not politically correct. Streams must flow in the right direction so that they may converge. Why all this cultural bustling? Just to assure oneself that everyone is speaking of the same thing. Of what? Of Otherness.”
Jean-François Lyotard, Postmodern Fables
