William Shakespeare
“For there was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently.”
William Shakespeare

“Knowledge has entertained me and it has shaped me and it has failed me. Something in me still starves.”
Mary Oliver

“Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry.”
Mary Oliver, A Poetry Handbook

Octavia E. Butler
“Civilization is to groups what intelligence is to individuals. It is a means of combining the intelligence of many to achieve ongoing group adaptation. Civilization, like intelligence, may serve well, serve adequately, or fail to serve its adaptive function. When civilization fails to serve, it must disintegrate unless it is acted upon by unifying internal or external forces.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Words are finite organs of the infinite mind.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature
