Book cover for Dune (Dune #1)
“Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

“Cover it, bury it, hide it away
A secret will always find its own way
No matter how long, no matter how far
When the time is right, it'll always rise
And carry it's truth to all men's eyes.”
Alex Bledsoe, Chapel of Ease

Pierce Brown
“Forget malice or anger. All should beware the wrath of an offended soul.”
Pierce Brown, Dark Age

Jorge Luis Borges
“I believe that the phrase ‘obligatory reading’ is a contradiction in terms; reading should not be obligatory. Should we ever speak of 'obligatory pleasure'? Pleasure is not obligatory, pleasure is something we seek. 'Obligatory happiness'! [...] If a book bores you, leave it; don’t read it because it is famous, don’t read it because it is modern, don’t read a book because it is old. If a book is tedious to you, leave it, even if that book is 'Paradise Lost' — which is not tedious to me — or 'Don Quixote' — which also is not tedious to me. But if a book is tedious to you, don't read it; that book was not written for you. Reading should be a form of happiness, so I would advise all possible readers of my last will and testament—which I do not plan to write— I would advise them to read a lot, and not to get intimidated by writers' reputations, to continue to look for personal happiness, personal enjoyment. It is the only way to read.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Professor Borges: A Course on English Literature

“Be honest. Be humble. Listen more than you talk.”
Jeff Zentner, Goodbye Days

Alex Bledsoe
“And sometimes when the story ends
Only the teller's left to make amends.”
Alex Bledsoe, Chapel of Ease
