Robert Browning
“This world's no blot for us,
Nor blank; it means intensely, and means good:
To find its meaning is my meat and drink.”
Robert Browning, My Last Duchess and Other Poems

Anne Frank
“Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I’ve never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year old schoolgirl. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. I feel like writing, and I have an even greater need to get all kinds of things off my chest.”
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Elie Wiesel
“We cannot indefinitely avoid depressing subject matter, particularly it it is true, and in the subsequent quarter century the world has had to hear a story it would have preferred not to hear - the story of how a cultured people turned to genocide, and how the rest of the world, also composed of cultured people, remained silent in the face of genocide. (v)”
Elie Wiesel, Night

Kuno Meyer
“THE PILGRIM AT ROME To go to Rome Is much of trouble, little of profit: The King whom thou seekest here, Unless thou bring Him with thee, thou wilt not find.”
Kuno Meyer, Ancient Irish Poetry

Victor Hugo
“If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away. ”
Victor Hugo
