Henry Kissinger
“The acquisition of knowledge from books provides an experience different from the Internet. Reading is relatively time-consuming; to ease the process, style is important. Because it is not possible to read all books on a given subject, much less the totality of books, or to organize easily everything one has read, learning from books places a premium on conceptual thinking - the ability to recognize comparable data and events and project patterns into the future. And style propels the reader into a relationship with the author, or with the subject matter, by fusing substance and aesthetics.”
Henry Kissinger, World Order

Lloyd Alexander
“And so shall honor Morgant," Gwydion said, "for what he used to be, and Ellidyr Prince of Pen-Llarcau for what he became.”
Lloyd Alexander, The Black Cauldron

D.A. Carson
“But if we decide contextually specific questions of synonymy on the basis of the total semantic range of each word, any synonymy in any context is virtually impossible.”
D A Carson

Ian Doescher
“O help/ Me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, help. Thou art/ Mine only hope.

-Leia Organa”
Ian Doescher, William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope

Henry Kissinger
“Order always requires a subtle balance of restraint, force, and legitimacy.”
Henry Kissinger, World Order
