George R.R. Martin
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

Carl von Clausewitz
“War is nothing but a continuation of politics with the admixture of other means.”
Carl von Clausewitz, On War

John Cowper Powys
“One needs no strange spiritual faith to worship the earth.”
John Cowper Powys

Julie James
“I realized that the one person who could break my heart is the only one who should have it.”
Julie James, Just the Sexiest Man Alive

Milan Kundera
“The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything. When Don Quixote went out into the world, that world turned into a mystery before his eyes. That is the legacy of the first European novel to the entire subsequent history of the novel. The novelist teaches the reader to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude. In a world built on sacrosanct certainties the novel is dead. The totalitarian world, whether founded on Marx, Islam, or anything else, is a world of answers rather than questions. There, the novel has no place.”
Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
