Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

C.S. Lewis
“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
C.S. Lewis

Walter Cronkite

Walter Cronkite

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Edgar Allan Poe
“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
Edgar Allan Poe
