“Literature is my Utopia”
― Helen Keller

“Un hombre que lee, que piensa o que calcula, pertenece a la especie y no al sexo; en sus mejores momentos llega a escapar de lo humano.”
― Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian

“And there is another feeling that is a great consolation in poverty. I believe everyone who has been hard up has experienced it. It is a feeling of relief, almost of pleasure, at knowing yourself at last genuinely down and out. You have talked so often of going to the dogs—and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them, and you can stand it. It takes off a lot of anxiety.”
― George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London

“Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
