What I am going to write is the last of what I have to say. I will say that literature is the only consciousness we possess and that its role as consciousness must inform us of our ability to comprehend the hideous danger of nuclear power.
John Cheever
It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
Pythagoras
Some people do indeed say that Eratosthenes could not have inferred the true measure of the earth. Whether true or untrue, it cannot affect the truth of what I have written on the fixing of the quarters from which the different winds blow.
Vitruvius
Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me 'Pipe a song about a Lamb.' So I piped with merry cheer 'Piper, pipe that song again.' So I piped he wept to hear.
William Blake

William Wordsworth
