- You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.
- Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965)

- Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.

- It is always easier to believe than to deny. Our minds are naturally affirmative.
- John Burroughs (1837 - 1921)
- Any ideas, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.
