Ray Bradbury
“Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the Universe together into one garment for us.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Wendell Berry
“Time doesn't stop. Your life doesn't stop and wait until you get ready to start living it.”
Wendell Berry, Hannah Coulter

Wendell Berry
“I began to know my story then. Like everybody's, it was going to be the story of living in the absence of the dead. What is the thread that holds it all together? Grief, I thought for a while. And grief is there sure enough, just about all the way through. From the time I was a girl I have never been far from it. But grief is not a force that has not power to hold. You only bear it. Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, or most in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery.”
Wendell Berry, Hannah Coulter

Zora Neale Hurston
“Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

W.B. Sprague
“A book which is not worth the labor of some thought is not worth the labor of reading.”
W.B. Sprague, Letters on Practical Subjects to a Daughter
