    “It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

    “Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
    To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but
    A dagger of the mind, a false creation
    Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “To look at and properly appreciate the British Museum is the work of a lifetime.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    “It is the interest one takes in books that makes a library. And if a library have interest it is; if not, it isn’t.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
