“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used.

― J.R.R. Tolkien

“Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.”

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
