"It has been fascinating to read a bildungsroman set in Wales at the beginning of the second world war. I enjoyed seeing philosophy from a teenage perspective, offering a new perspective on war and conscientious objection from people, next in line to fight, thrown together through circumstances outside their control, at a time when adulthood is causing its own natural difficulties in identity and self expression."

Lionel Shriver
“It's far less important to me to be liked these days than to be understood.”
Lionel Shriver, We Need to Talk About Kevin

E.B. White
“What do you mean less than nothing? I don't think there is any such thing as less than nothing. Nothing is absolutely the limit of nothingness. It's the lowest you can go. It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing? If there were something that was less than nothing, then nothing would not be nothing, it would be something - even though it's just a very little bit of something. But if nothing is nothing, then nothing has nothing that is less than it is.”
E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web

Edna St. Vincent Millay
“And what are you that, missing you,
I should be kept awake
As many nights as there are days
With weeping for your sake?

And what are you that, missing you,
As many days as crawl
I should be listening to the wind
And looking at the wall?

I know a man that’s a braver man
And twenty men as kind,
And what are you, that you should be
The one man in my mind?

Yet women’s ways are witless ways,
As any sage will tell,—
And what am I, that I should love
So wisely and so well?”
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Al Gore
“The planet is in distress and all of the attention is on Paris Hilton.”
Al Gore

Naomi Klein
“Extreme violence has a way of preventing us from seeing the interests it serves.”
Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
