E. Nesbit
“There is nothing more luxurious than eating while you read—unless it be reading while you eat. Amabel did both: they are not the same thing, as you will see if you think the matter over.”
E. Nesbit, The Magic World

Bill Watterson
“I like my smock. You can tell the quality of the artist by the quality of his smock. Actually, I just like to say smock. Smock smock smock smock smock smock.”
Bill Watterson, The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

Woody Allen
“I just can't listen to any more Wagner, you know...I'm starting to get the urge to conquer Poland.”
Woody Allen

Paul Hawken
“Ralph Waldo Emerson once asked what we would do if the stars only came out once every thousand years. No one would sleep that night, of course. The world would become religious overnight. We would be ecstatic, delirious, made rapturous by the glory of God. Instead the stars come out every night, and we watch television.”
Paul Hawken

John Irving
“The more clearly one sees this world; the more one is obliged to pretend it does not exist.”
John Irving, A Son of the Circus
