I thought if war did not include killing, I’d like to see one every year. Something like a festival.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“Reading ... is an activity subsequent to writing: more resigned, more civil, more intellectual.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“It is the province of knowledge to speak, and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
