Frank Lloyd Wright

Sadegh Hedayat

Some people use only one all the time, and it then, naturally, becomes soiled and wrinkled. These are the thrifty sort.

Sadegh Hedayat, The Blind Owl

Friedrich Nietzsche
“In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fair-mindedness, and gentleness with what is strange.”

“The man who had just entered the shop was a short, slight, hunched, beetle-browed man, with long arms and very short bandy legs.”
H.G. Wells, The Invisible Man

H.P. Lovecraft

H.P. Lovecraft, The Shadow over Innsmouth
