“Shakespeare has surface beneath surface to an immeasurable depth, adapted to the plummet-line of every reader; his works present many phases of truth, each with a scope large enough to fill a contemplative mind. Whatever you seek in him you will surely discover, provided you seek truth. There is no exhausting the various interpretations of his symbols, and a thousand years hence a world of new readers will possess a whole library of new books, as we ourselves do, in these volumes old already.”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne

“Life is a book, and there are a thousand pages I have not read. I would read them together with you, as many as I can, before I die”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

“And this you can know--fear the time when manself suffers and dies for a concept, for this one quality is th foundation of man self, and this one quality is man, distinctive in the universe”
― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

“It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again”
― F Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
