Gustave Flaubert
“You need a high degree of corruption or a very big heart to love absolutely everything”
Gustave Flaubert, November

Robert A. Heinlein
“Some people insist that 'mediocre' is better than 'best.' They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Have Space Suit—Will Travel
