Learned Hand
“What then is the spirit of liberty? I cannot define it; I can only tell you my own faith.

Learned Hand, The Spirit of Liberty: Papers and Addresses of Learned Hand

Scott Lynch

I don't give a damn what you or anyone else thinks...this is how it feels every time I look at you.”
Scott Lynch, The Republic of Thieves

L.M. Montgomery

J.R.R. Tolkien
“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.”
