Joyce Carol Oates
“I never change, I simply become more myself.”
Joyce Carol Oates, Solstice

Vladimir Nabokov
“I confess I do not believe in time. I like to fold my magic carpet, after use, in such a way as to superimpose one part of the pattern upon another. Let visitors trip. And the highest enjoyment of timelessness―in a landscape selected at random―is when I stand among rare butterflies and their food plants. This is ecstasy, and behind the ecstasy is something else, which is hard to explain. It is like a momentary vacuum into which rushes all that I love. A sense of oneness with sun and stone. A thrill of gratitude to whom it may concern―to the contrapuntal genius of human fate or to tender ghosts humoring a lucky mortal.”
Vladimir Nabokov

Harold S. Kushner
“Many biblical verses are like inkblot tests, revealing more about us than about the text in question.”
Harold S. Kushner

Abraham Joshua Heschel
“A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel

William Shakespeare
“The moon's an arrant thief, And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.”
William Shakespeare, Timon of Athens
