"Impressed with Lawrence's crisp, clear writing. He sometimes tries to cover too much in a confined space, making it hard to grasp context, but it's in part, I suspect, because the book is part travel log and local history as well as memoir.

I've had to use a dictionary several times, which doesn't often happen with many authors. I need a notebook and a WorldAtlas to keep track of the names and places."

J.D. Salinger
“Oh, I don’t know. That digression business got on my nerves. I don’t know. The trouble with me is, I like it when somebody digresses. It’s more interesting and all.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Ernest Hemingway
“Brett was damned good-looking. She wore a slip-over jersey sweater and a tweed skirt, and her hair was brushed back like a boy's. She started all that. She was built with curves like the hull of a racing yacht, and you missed none of it with that wool jersey.”
Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises

Stephen R. Covey
“Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic”
Stephen Covey

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house a world; and beyond its world, a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you. For you is the phenomenon perfect. What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobler's trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar's garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature

James Grady
“Ask them, then. ...Ask them when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold. Ask them when their engines stop. Ask them, when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You want to know something? They won't want us to ask them. They'll just want us to get it.”
James Grady, Six Days of the Condor
