George Eliot
“It is very difficult to be learned; it seems as if people were worn out on the way to great thoughts, and can never enjoy them because they are too tired.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

Ransom Riggs
“I was quite possibly in the midst of losing my mind. I needed to get away from people until I figured out if I actually was losing my mind.”
Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
