Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

William Shakespeare
“At first I did adore a twinkling star
But now I worship a celestial sun”
William Shakespeare, The Two Gentlemen of Verona

Cormac McCarthy
“He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Augustine of Hippo
“The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance.”
St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

Don DeLillo
“It is the nature and pleasure of townspeople to distrust the city. All the guiding principles that might flow from a center of ideas and cultural energies are regarded as corrupt, one or another kind of pornography. This is how it is with towns.”
Don DeLillo, White Noise
