John Steinbeck
“I guess there are never enough books.”
― John Steinbeck, A John Steinbeck Encyclopedia

Mark Twain
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).”
― Mark Twain

John Steinbeck
“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Colum McCann
“The world spins. We stumble on. It is enough.”
― Colum McCann, Let the Great World Spin

Oscar Wilde
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
― Oscar Wilde
