J.R.R. Tolkien
“Actually I am a Christian, and indeed a Roman Catholic, so that I do not expect 'history' to be anything but a 'long defeat' - though it contains (and in a legend may contain more clearly and movingly) some samples or glimpses of final victory. (Letter #195)”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

Douglas Adams
“to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before”
Douglas Adams

“Krishnamurti, a great Indian sage, once said: “You can take a piece of wood that you brought back from your garden, and each day present it with a flower. At the end of a month you will adore it, and the idea of not giving it an offering will be a sin.” In other words, everything that you are used to, once done long enough, starts to seem natural, even though it might not be.”
Julien Smith, The Flinch

Douglas Adams
“In the beginning the Universe was created.
This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Francesco Petrarca
“Nihil sapientiae odiosius acumine nimio

(Nothing is more hateful to wisdom than excessive cleverness)”
Francesco Petrarca
