“When you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“Stop worrying about growing old. And think about growing up.”
― Philip Roth, The Dying Animal

“Literature is news that stays news.”
― Ezra Pound, ABC of Reading

“Man reading ought to be a man intensely alive. The book ought to be a ball of light in his hands. ”
― Ezra Pound
