Natsume Sōseki
“Literature is neither technique or business. It is a motive force of society, a force that is more in touch with the fundamental principles of human life. That is why we study literature.”
Natsume Sōseki, Sanshirō

Ann Radcliffe
“She was tranquil, but it was with the quietness of exhausted grief, not of resignation; and she looked back upon the past, and awaited the future, with a kind of out-breathed despair.”
Ann Radcliffe, The Italian, or the confessional of the black penitents. A romance. By Ann Radcliffe, ... In three volumes. ... The second edition. Volume 1 of 3

M.R. James
“Those who spend the greater part of their time in reading or writing books are, of course, apt to take rather particular notice of accumulations of books when they come across them. They will not pass a stall, a shop, or even a bedroom-shelf without reading some title, and if they find themselves in an unfamiliar library, no host need trouble himself further about their entertainment.”
M.R. James

Dante Alighieri
“Within her presence, I had once been used
to feeling—trembling—wonder, dissolution;
but that was long ago. Still, though my soul,
now she was veiled, could not see her directly,
by way of hidden force that she could move,
I felt the mighty power of old love.”
Dante Alighieri

G.K. Chesterton
“A man reading the Dickens novel wished that it might never end. Men read a Dickens story six times because they knew it so well.”
G.K. Chesterton, Charles Dickens: A Critical Study
