Abraham Lincoln
“If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”
Abraham Lincoln

Louise Brooks
“If I ever bore you, it'll be with a knife.”
Louise Brooks

Henry James
“She feels in italics and thinks in CAPITALS.”
Henry James

Robert Penn Warren
“Process as process is neither morally good nor morally bad. We may judge results but not process. The morally bad agent may perform the deed which is good. The morally good agent may perform the deed which is bad. Maybe a man has to sell his soul to get the power to do good.”
Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men

Robert Penn Warren
“There is nothing more alone than being in a car at night in the rain. I was in the car. And I was glad of it. Between one point on the map and another point on the map, there was the being alone in the car in the rain. They say you are not you except in terms of relation to other people. If there weren't any other people there wouldn't be any you because what you do which is what you are, only has meaning in relation to other people. That is a very comforting thought when you are in the car in the rain at night alone, for then you aren't you, and not being you or anything, you can really lie back and get some rest. It is a vacation from being you. There is only the flow of the motor under your foot spinning that frail thread of sound out of its metal guy like a spider, that filament, that nexus, which isn't really there, between the you which you have just left in one place and the you which you will be where you get to the other place.”
Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men
