“Gawayne, bewildered, looked the other way,
And wondered what she meant; for in that day
The ready wit of man was under muzzle,
And woman's heart was still an unsolved puzzle;
And Gawayne, though in valor next to none,
Wished that her heart had been a tenderer one.
His sword was out for any foe on earth,
And yet to face death for a lady's mirth
Seemed scarce worth while. What honor bade, he'd do,
But would have liked to see a tear or two.”
Charlton Miner Lewis, Gawayne And The Green Knight

Thomas Merton
“Happiness consists in finding out precisely what the "one thing necessary" may be, in our lives, and in gladly relinquishing all the rest. For then, by a divine paradox, we find that everything else is given us together with the one thing we needed.”
Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island

C.S. Lewis
“[I]n reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.”
C.S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism

Alasdair MacIntyre
“The good life for man is the life spent in seeking for the good life for man”
Alasdair Macintyre, After Virtue

Candice Millard
“I love peace, but it is because I love justice and not because I am afraid of war,”
Candice Millard, The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey
