François-René de Chateaubriand
“An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.”
François-René de Chateaubriand, The Genius of Christianity or the Spirit and Beauty of the Christian Religion

Voltaire
“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”
Voltaire

Frank Herbert
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

Kate Atkinson
“She should have done science, not spent all her time with her head in novels. Novels gave you a completely false idea about life, they told lies and they implied there were endings when in reality there were no endings, everything just went on and on and on.”
Kate Atkinson, Case Histories
