Mark Helprin
“All great discoveries...are products as much of doubt as of certainty, and the two in opposition clear the air for marvelous accidents.”
Mark Helprin, Winter's Tale

Caroline Myss
“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind”
Caroline Myss

Isaac Asimov
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Isaac Asimov

Jarod Kintz
“Is a picture really worth a thousand words? What thousand words? A thousand words from a lunatic, or a thousand words from Nietzsche? Actually, Nietzsche was a lunatic, but you see my point. What about a thousand words from a rambler vs. 500 words from Mark Twain? He could say the same thing quicker and with more force than almost any other writer. One thousand words from Ginsberg are not even worth one from Wilde. It’s wild to declare the equivalency of any picture with any army of 1,000 words. Words from a writer like Wordsworth make you appreciate what words are worth.”
Jarod Kintz, This is the best book I've ever written, and it still sucks

Robert Louis Stevenson
“The captain has said too much or he has said too little, and I'm bound to say that I require an explanation of his words.”
