Pinkyivan

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
― Plato

“I haven't any right to criticize books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticize Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.”
― Mark Twain

“We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.”
― John Henry Newman

“My definition of good literature is that which can be read by an educated reader, and reread with increased pleasure.”
― Gene Wolfe
