We read to know we're not alone.
“We read to know we're not alone.”
William Nicholson, Shadowlands: A Play

“Life has no remote....get up and change it yourself!”
Mark A. Cooper, Operation Einstein

Charles Finch
“...men lived and died all the time by the peculiarities of their soul, which they could never expect one another to understand.”
Charles Finch, A Burial at Sea

Jeffrey Eugenides
“The Statue of Liberty's gender changed nothing. It was the same here as anywhere: men and their wars.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations
