Bill Watterson
“Calvin: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action.
Once you are informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray.
You realize nothing is as clear as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing.
Being a man of action, I cannot afford to take that risk.

Hobbes: You're ignorant, but at least you act on it.”
Bill Watterson, The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“I wonder,” he said, “whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own again...”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Michael Ondaatje
“I went mad before he did, you killed everything in me. Kiss me,will you. Stop defending yourself.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

Erin Morgenstern
“Trapped in silence, Marco traces apologies and adorations across Celia's body with his tongue. Mutely expressing all the things he cannot speak aloud.
He finds other ways to tell her, his fingers leaving faint trails of ink in their wake. He savors every sound he elicits from her.
The entire room trembles as they come together.
And though there are a great many fragile objects contained within it, nothing breaks.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

Ernest Hemingway
“God knows I had not wanted to fall in love with her. I had not wanted to fall in love with any one. But God knows I had and I lay on the bed in the room of the hospital in Milan and all sorts of things went through my head but I felt wonderful...”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
