Albert Camus
“Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.”
Albert Camus

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Goodbye blue Monday.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions

Allen Ginsberg
“I really would like to stop working forever–never work again, never do anything like the kind of work I’m doing now–and do nothing but write poetry and have leisure to spend the day outdoors and go to museums and see friends. And I’d like to keep living with someone — maybe even a man — and explore relationships that way. And cultivate my perceptions, cultivate the visionary thing in me. Just a literary and quiet city-hermit existence.”
Allen Ginsberg

Edgar Allan Poe
“I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.”
Edgar Allan Poe

Graham Greene
“One's life is more formed, I sometimes think, by books than by human beings: it is out of books one learns about love and pain at second hand. Even if we have the happy chance to fall in love, it is because we have been conditioned by what we have read, and if I had never known love at all, perhaps it was because my father's library had not contained the right books.”
Graham Greene, Travels with My Aunt
