George Eliot
“But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

George Eliot
“What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life--to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?”
George Eliot, Adam Bede

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Beauty will save the world.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot

C.S. Lewis
“The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.”
