Hunger Quotes (page 11)
All right, beautiful. You've got me tied down to this stone table, and there's a knife in your hand that says you get to rule Narnia for another hundred years. So maybe I die, and winter goes on.

C. S. Lewis
I only wanted to suggest to you that self-sacrifice is a passion so overwhelming that beside it even lust and hunger are trifling.

It is not by sleeping but by waking and studying continually that progress is made. [on Luca Della Robbia]
