Robert Southey

To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.

Robert M. Pirsig

John Steinbeck

Peace is its own reward.

Mahatma Gandhi

My country wrong or right, is like saying my mother, drunk or sober.

G. K. Chesterton

He knew the truth and was looking for something better.

William Saroyan

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities Truth isn't.

Lewis Thomas
