Hilary Mantel
“If a man spoke to you in that tone, you'd invite him to step outside and ask someone to hold your coat."
378”
Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall

Rob Sheffield
“This room was obviously decorated by a Color blind stripper in 1982. It’s halfway between ‘suburban rec room’ and ‘motel meth lab’.”
Rob Sheffield, Turn Around Bright Eyes: The Rituals of Love & Karaoke

André Brink
“My library was -- all libraries are -- a place of ultimate refuge, a wild and sacred space where meanings are manageable precisely because they aren't binding; and where illusion is comfortingly real.”
André Brink

Muhammad Ali
“Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.”
Muhammad Ali

“Tacos will grow on Christmas trees before I learn to carry a tune.”
