Franz Kafka
“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”
Franz Kafka

William Faulkner
“It is the writer's privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart.”
William Faulkner

J.R.R. Tolkien
“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

Harold Pinter
“One way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.”
Harold Pinter, Various Voices: Prose, Poetry, Politics

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
