Penelope Fitzgerald
“Duty is what no-one else will do at the moment.”
Penelope Fitzgerald, Offshore

Vladimir Nabokov
“We are absurdly accustomed to the miracle of a few written signs being able to contain immortal imagery, involutions of thought, new worlds with live people, speaking, weeping, laughing. We take it for granted so simply that in a sense, by the very act of brutish routine acceptance, we undo the work of the ages, the history of the gradual elaboration of poetical description and construction, from the treeman to Browning, from the caveman to Keats. What if we awake one day, all of us, and find ourselves utterly unable to read? I wish you to gasp not only at what you read but at the miracle of its being readable.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire

Anne Frank
“I think it's odd that grown-ups quarrel so easily and so often and about such petty matters. Up to now I always thought bickering was just something children did and that they outgrew it.”
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Anne Frank
“Crying can bring relief, as long as you don't cry alone.”
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Penelope Fitzgerald
“Morality is seldom a safe guide for human conduct.”
Penelope Fitzgerald, The Bookshop
