T.H. White
“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
T.H. White, The Once and Future King

Vladimir Nabokov
“I need you, the reader, to imagine us, for we don't really exist if you don't.”
Nabokov Vladimi, Lolita

Carlo Rovelli
“Once again, the world seems to be less about objects than about interactive relationships.”
Carlo Rovelli, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

David Lipsky
“David Foster Wallace: I always fear that when I really impose my will on something, the universe is gonna punish me.”
David Lipsky, Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace

William L. Shirer
“To all the millions of discontented Hitler in a whirlwind campaign offered what seemed to them, in their misery, some measure of hope. He would make Germany strong again, refuse to pay reparations, repudiate the Versailles Treaty, stamp out corruption, bring the money barons to heel (especially if they were Jews) and see to it that every German had a job and bread.”
William L. Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany
