“The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is in running. Where it is lacking there are no real students, but only poor caricatures of apprentices who, at the end of their apprenticeship, will not even have a trade.”
― Simone Weil

“The storied self knows that self is not enough.”
― Richard Kearney, Poetics of Imagining: Modern and Post-modern

“I shall become as complete a stranger as the unknown drama sleeping in the limbo of a novelist’s imagination”
― Léon Bloy, Disagreeable Tales

“The Bible nowhere says that animals are just made for human use. It does not say that the whole earth is just ours to do with as we like. Neither does it say that God’s sole interest is with the human species. We cannot allow such an important and influential book to become the preserve of those who want to exploit animals. The Bible needs to be read, studied, and reclaimed for the animals.”
― Andrew Linzey, Creatures of the Same God: Explorations in Animal Theology
