Augustine of Hippo
“I was not yet in love, yet I loved to love...I sought what I might love, in love with loving.”
Augustine of Hippo

Doris Kearns Goodwin
“Though [Abraham Lincoln] never would travel to Europe, he went with Shakespeare’s kings to Merry England; he went with Lord Byron poetry to Spain and Portugal. Literature allowed him to transcend his surroundings.”
Doris Kearns Goodwin

Daniel Defoe
“The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear.”
Daniel Defoe

Terry Southern
“The important thing in writing is the capacity to astonish. Not shock—shock is a worn-out word—but astonish.”
Terry Southern

Nora Ephron
“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
Nora Ephron
