    Stephen Fry
    “It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.”
    ― Stephen Fry, Moab Is My Washpot

    Wendy Cope
    “At lunchtime I bought a huge orange
    The size of it made us all laugh.
    I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
    They got quarters and I had a half.

    And that orange it made me so happy,
    As ordinary things often do
    Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park
    This is peace and contentment. It's new.

    The rest of the day was quite easy.
    I did all my jobs on my list
    And enjoyed them and had some time over.
    I love you. I'm glad I exist.”

    George Eliot
    “We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it, if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers as we sat lisping to ourselves on the grass, the same hips and haws on the autumn hedgerows, the same redbreasts that we used to call ‘God’s birds’ because they did no harm to the precious crops. What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known?”
