Arthur Conan Doyle
“I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet

J.K. Rowling
“Welcome! Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak. Thank you!”
J.K. Rowling

Amitav Ghosh
“And yes, it was true that whatever came of it would not revolutionise the sciences, or even a minor branch of them, but it was also true that if she were able to go through with it - even a part of it - it would be as fine a piece of descriptive science as any. It would be enough; as an alibi for a life, it would do; she would not need to apologise for how she had spent her time on earth.”
Amitav Ghosh, The Hungry Tide

J.K. Rowling
“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Amitav Ghosh
“Look, we don’t love like flowers with only one season behind us; when we love, a sap older than memory rises in our arms. O girl, it’s like this: inside us we haven’t loved just some one in the future, but a fermenting tribe; not just one child, but fathers, cradled inside us like ruins of mountains, the dry riverbed of former mothers, yes, and all that soundless landscape under its clouded or clear destiny—girl, all this came before you.”
Amitav Ghosh, The Hungry Tide
