Keith Richards
“When you are growing up there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully: the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equalizer.”
Keith Richards

John Hodgman
“A stopped clock is correct twice a day, but a sundial can be used to stab someone, even at nighttime.”
John Hodgman, More Information Than You Require

Sarah Vowell
“In these fast and fickle times, it’s nice to know that there are some things you can always count on: the enduring brilliance of the last page of The Great Gatsby; the near-religious harmonies of the Beach Boys’ “California Girls”; and the lifelong friendship of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.”
Sarah Vowell, The Partly Cloudy Patriot

George Orwell
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
George Orwell

William Faulkner
“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
William Faulkner
