Grace Grace said: " This book had me hooked, right up until the end, when I was disappointed in the summarizing aspects of the narrative. It felt so much less passionate and real than Austen's other books do. Right up until the end, though, I really loved it. ...more "

James Baldwin
“Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Hugh Laurie
“It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”
Hugh Laurie

Madeleine K. Albright
“What fascinates me—and what serves as a central theme of this book—is why we make the choices we do. What separates us from the world we have and the kind of ethical universe envisioned by someone like Havel? What prompts one person to act boldly in a moment of crisis and a second to seek shelter in the crowd? Why do some people become stronger in the face of adversity while others quickly lose heart? What separates the bully from the protector? Is it education, spiritual belief, our parents, our friends, the circumstances of our birth, traumatic events, or more likely some combination that spells the difference? More succinctly, do our hopes for the future hinge on a desirable unfolding of external events or some mysterious process within?”
Madeleine Albright, Prague Winter: Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948 – A Compelling Political Memoir of the Holocaust and World War II Resistance

W.S. Merwin
“Poetry is a way of looking at the world for the first time.”
W.S. Merwin

Ernest Hemingway
“I always worked until I had something done and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
