Book cover for A Room Of One's Own: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition
Genius needs freedom; it cannot flower if it is encumbered by fear, or rancor, or dependency, and without money freedom is impossible.

Kim Ghattas
“Trying to answer the question “What happened to us?” led me to the fateful year of 1979. Three major events took place in that same year, almost independent of one another: the Iranian Revolution; the siege of the Holy Mosque in Mecca by Saudi zealots; and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the first battleground for jihad in modern times, an effort supported by the United States. The combination of all three was toxic, and nothing was ever the same again.”
Kim Ghattas, Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran and the Rivalry That Unravelled the Middle East

John  Williams
“During that decade when many men's faces found a permanent hardness and bleakness, as if they looked upon an abyss, William Stoner, to whom that expression was as familiar as the air he walked in, saw the signs of a general despair he had known since he was a boy.”
John Williams, Stoner

Patrick White
“silence, simplicity and humility . . . the only proper state for the artist as for the human being,”
Patrick White, The Vivisector

Viktor E. Frankl
“Woe to him who found that the person whose memory alone had given him courage in camp did not exist any more! Woe to him who, when the day of his dreams finally came, found it so different from all he had longed for! Perhaps he boarded a trolley, traveled out to the home which he had seen for years in his mind,
and only in his mind, and pressed the bell, just as he has longed to do in thousands of dreams, only to find that the person who should open the door was not there, and would never be there again.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Viktor E. Frankl
“Life in a concentration camp tore open the human soul
and exposed its depths. Is it surprising that in those
depths we again found only human qualities which in
their very nature were a mixture of good and evil? The
rift dividing good from evil, which goes through all
human beings, reaches into the lowest depths and becomes
apparent even on the bottom of the abyss which is
laid open by the concentration camp.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
