“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”

The Hobbit • J.R.R Tolkien

“It is a hopeless endeavour to attract people to a theatre unless they can be first brought to believe that they will never get in.”

Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens

““You, Venerable One, may indeed be a seeker, for, striving toward your goal, there is much you do not see which is right before your eyes.””

Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse

“There is a kind of sleep that steals upon us sometimes , which, while it holds the body prisoner, does not free the mind from a sense of things about it, and enable it to ramble as it pleases. So far as an overpowering heaviness, a prostration of strength, and an utter inability to control our thoughts or power of motion can be called sleep, this is it; and yet we have a consciousness of all that is going on about us, and even if we dream, words which are really spoken, or sounds which really exist at the moment, accommodate themselves with surprising readiness to our visions, until reality and imagination become so strangely blended that it is afterwards almost a matter of impossibility to separate the two.”

Oliver Twist • Charles Dickens

“The Government simply cannot make up their mind, or they cannot get the Prime Minister to make up his mind. So they go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all powerful to be impotent.”

Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
