“The Aunts put their arms about one another so that their faces were cheek to cheek, and from this doublehead they gazed up at Steerpike with a row of four equidistant eyes. There was no reason why there should not have been forty, or four hundred of them.

― Mervyn Peake, Titus Groan

“It is God’s omnipotence, His consuming holiness, and His right to judge that make Him worthy to be feared.”

“In general, I would think that at present prose writers are much in advance of the poets. In the old days, I read more poetry than prose, but now it is in prose where you find things being put together well, where there is great ambition, and equal talent. Poets have gotten so careless, it is a disgrace. You can’t pick up a page. All the words slide off.”
― William H. Gass

“If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.”
― George S. Patton
