“Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

George Eliot
“There is hardly any contact more depressing to a young ardent creature than that of a mind in which years full of knowledge seem to have issued in a blank absence of interest or sympathy.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

Bertrand Russell
“To discover a system for the avoidance of war is a vital need of our civilization; but no such system has a chance while men are so unhappy that mutual extermination seems to them less dreadful than continued endurance of the light of day.”
Bertrand Russell

Donna Tartt
“There is nothing wrong with the love of Beauty. But Beauty—unless she is wed to something more meaningful—is always superficial.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Walter M. Miller Jr.
“If you try to save wisdom until the world is wise, Father, the world will never have it.”
Walter M. Miller Jr., A Canticle for Leibowitz
