What do sad complaints avail if the offense is not cut down by punishment.

Horace

When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.

John Berger

Women are still second-class citizens.

Joan Jett

Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved-to write a book.

Edward Gibbon

Love is magic in its rawest form.

Anne Rainey

Peter Scotese

Publilius Syrus

Miguel de Cervantes

I have learned that you can go anywhere you want to go and do anything you want to do and buy all the things that you want to buy and meet all the people that you want to meet and learn all the things that you desire to learn and if you do all these things but are not madly in love: you have still not begun to live.
