I see again my schoolroom in Vyra, the blue roses of the wallpaper, the open window? Everything is as it should be, nothing will ever change, nobody will ever die. Vladimir Nabokov
Don't trust children with edge tools. Don't trust man, great God, with more power than he has until he has learned to use that little better. What a hell we should make of the world if we could do what we would! Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why should art have a purpose and a use? Art shouldn't be concerned with purpose and reason and need, they say. These are improper. But from the very beginning, it seems to me, stories have indeed been meant to be enjoyed, to appeal to that part of us which enjoys good form and good shape and good sound. Chinua Achebe
My liege, and madam, to expostulate. What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief. William Shakespeare
