Jane Austen, Emma

J.D. Salinger
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Robert Frost
“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
Robert Frost

“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.”

“Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.”
