- "There is a time when we must firmly choose the course which we follow, or the endless drift of events will make the decision for us." Herbert Prochnow
- “You’re the cool of the water, you’re the start of the summer. You keep me still like an anchor, in a storm you’re the cellar. When I’m heavy with worry, you make me light as a feather. When I’m deafened by anger, you’re the song I remember. With the grace of a dancer and the strength of a pillar, when I’m starving to suffer you just fill me with laughter. You’re a poet and a saint, you are the only one I choose to imitate. Oh, like the love of a father through the eye of a camera, it’s this picture I have seen; I’m on a sloping hill of green and you are walking there beside me.” Conor Oberst
- "We seek the absolute everywhere, and only ever find things" Novalis
- "But the problem with readers, the idea we're given of reading is that the model of a reader is the person watching a film, or watching television. So the greatest principle is, "I should sit here and I should be entertained." And the more classical model, which has been completely taken away, is the idea of a reader as an amateur musician. An amateur musician who sits at the piano, has a piece of music, which is the work, made by somebody they don't know, who they probably couldn't comprehend entirely, and they have to use their skills to play this piece of music. The greater the skill, the greater the gift that you give the artist and that the artist gives you. That's the incredibly unfashionable idea of reading. And yet when you practice reading, and you work at a text, it can only give you what you put into it. It's an old moral, but it's completely true." Zadie Smith
- "Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it..." Wilfred peterson
- “Love is not breathlessness; It is not excitement; It is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love”, which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.” Louise de Bernières
