James Salter
“Now they are lovers. The first, wild courses are ended. They have founded their domain. A satanic happiness follows.”
James Salter, A Sport and a Pastime

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“If anyone is unwilling to descend into himself, because this is too painful, he will remain superficial in his writing. . . If I perform to myself, then it’s this that the style expresses. And then the style cannot be my own. If you are unwilling to know what you are, your writing is a form of deceit.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Lewis Carroll
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”
Lewis Carroll

Neil Postman
“The opposite of a correct statement is an incorrect statement. The opposite of a profound truth is another profound truth (Niels Bohr)." By this, he means that we require a larger reading of the human past, of our relations with each other, the universe and God, a retelling of our older tales to encompass many truths and to let us grow with change.”
Neil Postman, Building a Bridge to the 18th Century: How the Past Can Improve Our Future

W.B. Yeats
“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is lost
The best lack all conviction, while the worst are filled with passionate intensity.”
W.B. Yeats
