“I hear the ruin of all space, shattered glass and toppled masonry, and time one livid final flame.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“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“Underneath the topmost layers of frailty, men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed most of their vices are attempted shortcuts to love.”
The Practice of Psychological Assessment • John Steinbeck“Made glorious summer by this sun of York.”
Richard III • William Shakespeare“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde
