Ernest Hemingway
“But life isn't hard to manage when you've nothing to lose.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Dr. Seuss
“When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad...
you should do what I do!
Just tell yourself, Duckie,
you're really quite lucky!
Some people are much more...
oh, ever so much more...
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!”
Dr. Seuss, Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?

Alexandre Dumas
“Those born to wealth, and who have the means of gratifying every wish, know not what is the real happiness of life, just as those who have been tossed on the stormy waters of the ocean on a few frail planks can alone realize the blessings of fair weather.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

Dorothy L. Sayers
“May I express the hope that the present union may happily exemplify that which we find in a first-class port—strength of body fortified by a first-class spirit and mellowing through many years to a noble maturity. My lord and my lady—your very good health!”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Busman's Honeymoon

Norton Juster
“So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible.”
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
