Jerome K. Jerome
“It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.”
Jerome K. Jerome

Vladimir Nabokov
“Curiosity is insubordination in its purest form.”
Vladimir Nabokov

Leo Tolstoy
“In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”
Leo Tolstoy

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“A great writer is, so to speak, a second government in his country. And for that reason no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Philip Roth
“Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt and control them. The best readers come to fiction to be free of all that noise.”
Philip Roth
