Charles H. Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students

William Shakespeare
“The weight of this sad time we must obey,

The oldest hath borne most: we that are young

William Shakespeare, King Lear

Haruki Murakami
“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
