Christopher  Morley
“Long ago I fell back on books as the only permanent consolers. They are the one stainless and unimpeachable achievement of the human race. It saddens me to think that I shall have to die with thousands of books unread that would have given me noble and unblemished happiness.”
Christopher Morley, The Haunted Bookshop

Barbara W. Tuchman
“Books are the carriers of civilization...They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print.”
Barbara W. Tuchman

Reginald Rose
“Facts may be colored by the personalities of the people who present them.”
Reginald Rose, Twelve Angry Men

Daniel Woodrell
“Pine trees with low limbs spread over fresh snow made a stronger vault for the spirit than pews and pulpits ever could.”
Daniel Woodrell, Winter's Bone

Edward Abbey
“My most memorable hikes can be classified as 'Shortcuts that Backfired'.”
Edward Abbey, The Journey Home: Some Words in Defense of the American West
