“The point is that the pleasures of spring are available to everybody, and cost nothing.”
― George Orwell, Some Thoughts on the Common Toad

“Actual life is full of false clues and sign-posts that lead nowhere. With infinite effort we nerve ourselves for a crisis that never comes. The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken.”
― E.M. Forster, Howards End

“She laughed at the stars, frightened but free, her terror as sharp as pain and as sweet as a ripe October apple”
― Stephen King, It

“All the evidence over several decades cast a critical light on the high-rise as a viable social structure, but cost-effectiveness in the area of public housing and the profitability in the private sector kept pushing these vertical townships into the sky, against the real needs of their occupants. The psychology of high-rise life had been exposed with damaging results. Living in high-rises required a special type of behavior, one that was acquiescent, restrained, even perhaps slightly mad. A psychotic would have a ball here.”
― J.G. Ballard, High-Rise
