I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little further down our particular path than we have gone ourselves.
... E. M. Forster
Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature.
... Abraham Maslow
Men ever had, and ever will have leave, /
To coin new words well suited to the age, /
Words are like Leaves, some wither every year, /
And every year a younger Race succeeds.
... Horace, poet and satirist (65-8 BCE)
Words are things; and a small drop of ink /
Falling like dew upon a thought, produces /
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
... Lord Byron, (1788-1824)
It is with words as with sunbeams, the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.
... Robert Southey (1774-1843)
and finally,
People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.
- Logan Pearsall Smith
