“High strung, like a violin string, they weep and moan for life, so relentless, so cruel, so terribly inhunan. In a desperate moment the string breaks. Untuned ears hear nothing but discord. But those who feel the agonized cry understand its harmony; they hear in it the fulfillment of the most compelling moment of human nature.”
― Emma Goldman

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“A serious writer writing what are meant as serious books can survive and even flourish in the face of official indifference and hostility if he has something to say and says it well.”
― Edward Abbey

“A passion! Fueled in equal parts by anger and love. How can you feel one without the other? Each implies the other. A writer without passion is like a body without a soul. Or even more grotesque, like a soul without a body.”
― Edward Abbey
