Allen Ginsberg
“I don't do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision.”
Allen Ginsberg, The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice: First Journals and Poems, 1937-1952

Anthony Esolen
“The worst feature of the Common Core is its anti-humanistic, utilitarian approach to education. It mistakes what a child is and what a human being is for. That is why it has no use for poetry, and why it boils the study of literature down to the scrambling up of some marketable "skill" [...] you don't read good books to learn about what literary artists do...you learn about literary art so that you can read more good books and learn more from them. It is as if Thomas Gradgrind had gotten hold of the humanities and turned them into factory robotics.”
Anthony Esolen

Jack Kerouac
“Be in love with your life, every detail of it.”
Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac
“It’s not that I can’t fall in love. It’s really that I can’t help falling in love with too many things all at once. So, you must understand why I can’t distinguish between what’s platonic and what isn’t, because it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.”
Jack Kerouac

Ian McEwan
“I’ll wait for you. Come back.
The words were not meaningless, but they didn’t touch him now.
It was clear enough - one person waiting for another was like an arithmetical sum, and just as empty of emotion.
Waiting.
Simply one person doing nothing, over time, while another approached. Waiting was a heavy word.”
Ian McEwan, Atonement
