John Ruskin
“I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.”
John Ruskin

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Without books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows on the world, "Lighthouses" as the poet said "erected in the sea of time." They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind, Books are humanity in print.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

Walker Percy
“You can get all A's and still flunk life.”
Walker Percy, The Second Coming
