Lemony Snicket
“It is likely I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read.”
Lemony Snicket

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“They were stars on this stage, each playing to an audience of two: the passion of their pretense created the actuality. Here, finally, was the quintessence of self-expression-- yet it was probable that for the most part their love expressed Gloria rather than Anthony. He felt often like a scarecly tolerated guest at a party she was giving.”
Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

Madame de Sévigné
“The human heart will never wrinkle.”
Madame de Sévigné, Letters of Madame de Sévigné to her Daughter and her Friends, Volume 2

Aldous Huxley
“No, give me the past. It doesn’t change; it’s all there in black and white, and you can get to know about it comfortably and decorously and, above all, privately - by reading. … As reading becomes more and more habitual and widespread, an ever-increasing number of people will discover that books will give them all the pleasures of social life and none of its intolerable tedium.”
Aldous Huxley, Crome Yellow

Isaac Asimov
“In life, unlike chess, the game continues after checkmate.”
Isaac Asimov
