There's been so much talk of hard quotes, and people's lists, maybe we can share some of ours.
Here's a starter set.
Alexander Pope: Fix'd like a plant on his peculiar spot, to draw nutrition, propagate, and rot.
Robert Orden: Time flies. It's up to you to be the navigator.
Dorothy Parker: They sicken of the calm that know the storm.
Unattributed: I am a Marxist...of the Groucho tendency.
Gilbert Chesterton: All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry.
Ernest Dimnet: All serious conversations gravitate towards philosophy.
John Ruskin: Life without industry is guilt. Industry without art is brutality.
