Thomas Carlyle
“All that mankind has done, thought, gained, or been; it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.”
Thomas Carlyle

Jess Walter
“A writer needs four things to achieve greatness, Pasquale: desire, disappointment, and the sea.”
“That’s only three.”
Alvis finished his wine. “You have to do disappointment twice.”
Jess Walter, Beautiful Ruins

“but for her it has been no shame to suffer labor, pain, exile, because in laboring I improved, in suffering I became experienced, in exile I learned, for I found daily rest in brief labor, immense joy in slight pain, and a broad homeland in my narrow exile.”
Ingrid D. Rowland, Giordano Bruno: Philosopher/Heretic

Shirley Hazzard
“Reverie by the open window in the sweet futility of a mild evening was yet to strike the Australian male as a requirement. (There would be the question of fly screens, for one thing.)”
Shirley Hazzard, The Great Fire

Walter Benjamin
“The illiterate of the future’, it has been said, ‘will not be the man who cannot read the alphabet, but the one who cannot take a photograph’. But must we not also count as illiterate the photographer who cannot read his own pictures? Will not the caption become the most important component of the shot?”
Walter Benjamin, A Short History of Photography
