J.K. Rowling
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Gerry Pirani
“Sometimes you can't wait for the rest of your life to come to you. You have to go to it. Or at least meet it half way.”
Gerry Pirani, The Search For Intelligent Life on Earth: A Story of Love

Emmanuel Levinas
“To approach the Other in conversation is to welcome his expression, in which at each instant he overflows the idea a thought would carry away from it. It is therefore to receive from the Other beyond the capacity of the I, which means exactly: to have the idea of infinity. But this also means: to be taught. The relation with the Other, or Conversation, is a non-allergic relation, an ethical relation; but inasmuch as it is welcomed this conversation is a teaching. Teaching is not reducible to maieutics; it comes from the exterior and brings me more than I contain. In its non-violent transitivity the very epiphany of the face is produced.”
Emmanuel Levinas, Totality and Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority

Salman Rushdie
“I learned: the first lesson of my life: nobody can face the world with his eyes open all the time.”
Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children
