Aeschylus
“For somehow this is tyranny's disease, to trust no friends.”
Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound

Honoré de Balzac
“Reading brings us unknown friends”
Honore de Balzac

Albert Camus
“To lose one's life is no great matter; when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.”
Albert Camus, Caligula

Don DeLillo
“Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us. In the end, writers will write not to be outlaw heroes of some underculture but mainly to save themselves, to survive as individuals.”
Don DeLillo

Homer
“Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is weaker than man.”
Homer, The Odyssey
