― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Find tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.”
― William Shakespeare, As You Like It

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
― Michael Cunningham, The Hours

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa
