W. Somerset Maugham
“Culture is not something you put on like a ready-made suit of clothes, but a nourishment you absorb to build up your personality, just as food builds up the body of a growing boy; it is not an ornament to decorate a phrase, still less to show off your knowledge, but a means, painfully acquired, to enrich the soul.”
W. Somerset Maugham, Ten Novels and Their Authors

Annie Dillard
“Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.”
Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

Erik Satie
“The dandy cleans his monocle every day, a silver monocle with a lens of smoked gold, given him by a beautiful lady but, suddenly overcome with sadness, he has lost the monocle case.”
Erik Satie, Les Trois Valses Distinguées Du Précieux Dégoûté by Erik Satie for Solo Piano

Annie Dillard
“It is no less difficult to write a sentence in a recipe than sentences in Moby Dick. So you might as well write Moby Dick.”
Annie Dillard

T.S. Eliot
“I should have been a pair of ragged claws/ Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.”
T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Other Poems
