    “So long as a man-of-war exists, it must ever remain a picture of much that is tyrannical and repelling in human nature.”

    “A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)

    “A book should contain pure discoveries, glimpses of terra firma, though by shipwrecked mariners, and not the art of navigation by those who have never been out of sight of land. They must not yield wheat and potatoes, but must themselves be the unconstrained and natural harvest of their author’s lives.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
