“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Time doesn't take away from friendship, nor does separation.”
― Tennessee Williams, Memoirs
