No Country for Old Men

"It takes very little to govern good people. Very little. And bad people can't be governed at all. Or if they could I never heard of it."

-Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men

The Little Prince, pg 91

"Here, then, is a great mystery. For you who love the little prince, as for me, nothing in the universe can be the same if somewhere--we do no know where--a sheep we have never met has or has not eaten a rose.
Look up at the sky. Ask yourselves: has the sheep eaten the flower or not? And you will see how everything changes...
And no grown-up will ever understand the significance of this!"

--Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince, pg 91

Moby Dick, p44

"But perhaps, to be true philosophers, we mortals should not be conscious of so living or so striving. So soon as I hear that such or such a man gives himself out for a philosopher, I conclude that, like the dyspeptic old woman, he must have 'broken his digester.'"

Herman Melville, Moby Dick, Chapter 10, pg 44.

Moby Dick, pg 30

"And the man that has anything bountifully laughable about him, be sure there is more in that man than you perhaps think for."
