    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “However, no two people see the external world in exactly the same way. To every separate person a thing is what he thinks it is—in other words, not a thing, but a think.”
    —Penelope Fitzgerald (b. 1916)

    “Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
