*Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.”
~ Mevlana Rumi
13th century sufi poet and mystic
*Written things are not for speech; their form is literary; they are stiff, inflexible, and will not lend themselves to happy and effective delivery with the tongue--where their purpose is to merely entertain, not instruct; they have to be limbered up, broken up, colloquialized and turned into common forms of premeditated talk--otherwise they will bore the house and not entertain it.
- Mark Twain
*The young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.
- Willikam Faulkner, "Nobel Prize Speech"
*There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written.
- Oscar Wilde, "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
*Read in order to live.
- Gustave Flaubert, Letter, June 1857
