William H. Gass
“When book and reader's furrowed brow meet, it isn't always the book that's stupid.”
William H. Gass

Jeff Bezos
“People who are right most of the time are people who change their minds often.”
Jeff Bezos

James Joyce
“The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring. Paintings of Moreau are paintings of ideas. The deepest poetry of Shelley, the words of Hamlet bring our mind into contact with the eternal wisdom; Plato's world of ideas. All the rest is the speculation of schoolboys for schoolboys.”
James Joyce, Ulysses

John  Williams
“Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read; and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”
John Williams, Stoner

Jeff Bezos
“In the end, we are our choices.”
Jeff Bezos
