Dorothy Parker
"I might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound -- if I can remember any of the damn things."
Dorothy Parker


Oscar Wilde
"No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist."
Oscar Wilde


Austin Grossman
"There's a fine line between a superpower and a chronic medical condition."
Austin Grossman (Soon I Will Be Invincible)


Kurt Vonnegut
"And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.

So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries."
Kurt Vonnegut (A Man Without a Country)
