Elizabeth Gaskell
“...for if she had two characteristics in her natural state of health, they were a facility of eating and sleeping. If she could neither eat nor sleep, she must be indeed out of spirits and out of Health.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, Cranford

Hermann Hesse
“For it cannot be denied that all over the world and in all ages there are beings who are perceived to be extraordinary, charming, and appealing, and whom many honor as benevolent spirits, because they make one think of a more beautiful, a freer, a more winged life than the one we lead.”
Hermann Hesse, Pictor's Metamorphoses and Other Fantasies

John Steinbeck
“There was no desire in him for a state or condition, no picture in his mind of the thing to be when he had followed his longing; but only a burning and a will overpowering to journey outward and outward after the earliest risen star.”
John Steinbeck, Cup of Gold

Mary Oliver
“In this universe we are given two gifts: the ability to love, and the ability to ask questions. Which are, at the same time, the fires that warm us and the fires that scorch us.”
Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays

John Steinbeck
“One who was born by the ocean or has associated with it cannot ever be quite content away from it for very long”
John Steinbeck, The Log from the Sea of Cortez
