V.S. Naipaul
“His ignorance seemed to widen with everything he read.”
V. S. Naipaul, Half a Life

John Irving
“Grant us safe lodging, and holy rest,” Mrs. Grogan was saying, “and peace at last.” Amen, thought Wilbur Larch, the Saint of St. Cloud’s, who was seventy-something, and an ether addict, and who felt that he’d come a long way and still had a long way to go.”
John Irving, The Cider House Rules

Charles Dickens
“No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.”
Charles Dickens, Our Mutual Friend

Elizabeth I
“And therefore I am come amongst you at this time, not as for my recreation or sport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all; to lay down, for my God, and for my kingdom, and for my people, my honour and my blood, even the dust. I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too.”
Queen Elizabeth I

John Irving
“… and so he tried to accept the ache in his heart as what Dr. Larch would call the common symptoms of normal life.”
John Irving, The Cider House Rules
