““When I get fed up with one, I spend the night with the other.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“The Gospels contain a fairy-story, or a story of a larger kind which embraces all the essence of fairy-stories. ... But this story has entered History and the primary world; ... It has pre-eminently the "inner consistency of reality." There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true, and none which so many sceptical men have accepted as true on its own merits. For the Art of it has the supremely convincing tone of Primary Art, that is, of Creation. ...this story is supreme; and it is true. Art has been verified. God is the Lord, of angels, and of men--and of elves. Legend and History have met and fused.”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien“ Food production, and competition and diffusion between societies, led as ultimate causes ... of conquest. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“No one wants advice, only corroboration.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck“It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.”
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes • Arthur Conan Doyle
