Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“Socialism, of whatever variety, is a sort of caricature of the Gospel message. Socialism promises only equality and a full belly, and that only by means of coercion.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, In the First Circle

Edward Albee
“Read the great stuff, but read the stuff that isn't so great, too. Great stuff is very discouraging. If you read only Beckett and Chekhov, you'll go away and only deliver telegrams for Western Union.”
― Edward Albee

Anton Chekhov
“Be sure not to discuss your hero's state of mind. Make it clear from his actions."

(Letter to Alexander Chekhov, May 10, 1886)”
― Anton Chekhov

Ivan Doig
“Childhood is the one story that stands by itself in every soul.”
― Ivan Doig, The Whistling Season
