Percy Bysshe Shelley quote: "No more alone through the world's wilderness,Although I trod..."

People wonder why the novel is the most popular form of literature; people wonder why it is read more than books of science or books of metaphysics. The reason is very simple; it is merely that the novel is more true than they are. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Love is wise; hatred is foolish. In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way. But if we are to live together, and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet. Bertrand Russell
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius? and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. E. F. Schumacher

But to surrender who you are and to live without belief is more terrible than dying – even more terrible than dying young. Joan of Arc
But what's worth more than gold?"Practically everything. You, for example. Gold is heavy. Your weight in gold is not very much gold at all. Aren't you worth more than that? Terry Prachett
When modern sociologists talk of the necessity of accommodating one's self to the trend of the time, they forget that the trend of the time at its best consists entirely of people who will not accommodate themselves to anything. At its worst it consists of many millions of frightened creatures all accommodating themselves to a trend that is not there. And that is becoming more and more the situation...Every man speaks of public opinion, and means by public opinion, public opinion minus his... Gilbert K. Chesterton
It sure is a pleasure not having Flume around in the mess hall any more. No more of that 'Pass the salt, Walt.'"Or 'Pass the bread, Fred.'"Or 'Shoot me a beet, Pete. Joseph Heller

The more images I gathered from the past, I said, the more unlikely it seemed to me that the past had actually happened in this or that way, for nothing about it could be called normal: most of it was absurd, and if not absurd, then appalling. W. G. Sebald
But having more freedom she only became more profoundly aware of the big want. She wanted so many things. She wanted to read great, beautiful books, and be rich with them; she wanted to see beautiful things, and have the joy of them for ever; she wanted to know big, free people; and there remained always the want she could put no name to? It was so difficult. There were so many things, so much to meet and surpass. And one never knew where one was going. David Herbert Lawrence
