Jorge Luis Borges
“The critics often invent authors; they select two dissimilar works - the Tao Te Ching and the 1001 Nights, say - attribute them to the same writer and then determine most scrupulously the psychology of this interesting homme de lettres...”
Jorge Luis Borges, Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

George MacDonald
“Trust the Oak,” said she; “trust the Oak, and the Elm, and the great Beech. Take care of the Birch, for though she is honest, she is too young not to be changeable. But shun the Ash and the Alder; for the Ash is an ogre,—you will know him by his thick fingers; and the Alder will smother you with her web of hair, if you let her near you at night.”
George MacDonald, Phantastes

Jorge Luis Borges
“The metaphysicians of Tlön are not looking for truth, nor even for an approximation of it; they are after a kind of amazement.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

Cormac McCarthy
“Where men can't live gods fare no better.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Tove Jansson
“You were talking about the wind," the Fillyjonk said suddenly. "A wind that carries off your washing. But I'm speaking about cyclones. Typhoons, Gaffsie dear. Tornadoes, whirlwinds, sandstorms... Flood waves that carry houses away... But most of all I'm talking about myself and my fears, even if I know that's not done. I know everything will turn out badly. I think about that all the time. Even while I'm washing my carpet. Do you understand that? Do you feel the same way?”
Tove Jansson, Tales from Moominvalley
