As a general rule, Providence seldom vouchsafes to mortals any more than just that degree of encouragement which suffices to keep them at a reasonably full exertion of their powers. Nathaniel Hawthorne
Wilfred Grenfell quote: "I have found more inspiration in the cottages of fishermen..."
I have found more inspiration in the cottages of fishermen than in the palaces of the rich. Wilfred Grenfell
Well, Daddy, I used to believe that artists went crazy in the process of creating the beautiful works of art that kept society sane.

So I guess we’re all loony together now, loony rats in the shithouse of commercialism. Tom Robbins
The others would then fall silent and she would continue about doped gallium arsenide detectors, or the ethanol content of the galactic cloud W-3. The quantity of 200-proof alcohol in this single interstellar cloud was more than enough to maintain the present population of the Earth, if every adult were a dedicated alcoholic, for the age of the solar system. The tamada had appreciated the remark. Carl Sagan
...the Puritans compressed whatever mirth and public joy they deemed allowable to human infirmity; thereby so far dispelling the customary cloud, that, for the space of a single holiday, they appeared scarcely more grave than most other communities at a period of general affliction. Nathaniel Hawthorne
A book is like a pump. It gives nothing unless first you give to it. You prime a pump with your own water, you work the handle with your own strength. You do this because you expect to get back more than you give. Stephen King
But he looks no more than thirty. He's very handsome-- so much you will admit; nor will you deny that he is very wealthy and very powerful; the greatest nobleman in Brittany. He will make me a great lady.''God made you that, Aline. Rafael Sabatini
It takes faith to find personal significance in your relationship with God rather than how much money you earn, how beautiful you look, how many toys you own, how many trophies you collect, or how much territory you conquer and control. Charles R. Swindoll
Frank Herbert quote: "A stone is heavy and the sand is weighty; but a fool's wrath..."
