George Orwell
“We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.”
George Orwell, 1984

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Vincent van Gogh
“It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures; one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.”
Vincent Van Gogh

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,

The old that is strong does not wither,

The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Jane Austen
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
