Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
“It is the province of knowledge to speak and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes

Mark Haddon
“And this means that time is a mystery, and not even a thing, and no one has ever solved the puzzle of what time is, exactly. and so, if you get lost in time it is like being lost in a desert, except that you can't see the desert because it is not a thing. And this is why I like timetables, because they make sure you don't get lost in time”
Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
“What refuge is there for the victim who is oppressed with the feeling that there are a thousand new books he ought to read, while life is only long enough for him to attempt to read a hundred?”
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., Over the Teacups

Albert Camus
“To state quite simply what we learn in time of pestilence: that there are more things to admire in men than to despise.”
Albert Camus, The Plague

Alberto Manguel
“As centuries of dictators have known, an illiterate crowd is the easiest to rule; since the craft of reading cannot be untaught once it has been acquired, the second-best recourse is to limit its scope.”
Alberto Manguel, A History of Reading
