Natsume Sōseki
“We who are born into this age of freedom and independence and the self must undergo this loneliness. It is the price we pay for these times of ours.”
Natsume Soseki

William Faulkner
“What matters is at the end of life, when you're about to pass into oblivion, that you've at least scratched 'Kilroy was here,' on the last wall of the universe.”
William Faulkner, Lion in the Garden: Interviews with William Faulkner, 1926-1962

Walker Percy
“To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.”
Walker Percy, The Moviegoer

“Sovereign power is nothing if it does not care for the welfare of others, and . . . it is the task of a good ruler to keep his power in check, to resist the passions of unbridled desire and implacable rage, and to realize that, as the dictator Caesar used to say, the recollection of past cruelty is a wretched provision for old age.”
Ammianus Marcellinus, The Later Roman Empire

G.K. Chesterton
“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
G.K. Chesterton
