'We shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way.'  -Hunter S. Thompson


Thompson wrote this quote in a 1960 letter to a friend of his girlfriend's in response to a letter from her on the nature of relationships. He went on to clarify the importance of finding happiness without relying on other people for it: "I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important."

'Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime's work, but it's worth the effort.'  -Fred Rogers


An unflinchingly optimistic children's television personality and Presbyterian minister, Fred Rogers was the host of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for over 30 years. When he appeared before the Senate in 1969 to speak against proposed PBS funding cuts, Rogers explained his educational philosophy and recited the message he gave at the end of each show, "You've made this day a special day, just by being you." After he finished, Chairman John Pastore replied, "I think it's wonderful. Looks like you just earned the $20 million."

'A man is a worker. If he is not that he is nothing.'  -Joseph Conrad


This line comes from a collection of writings the Polish-born novelist assembled shortly before his death and introduced almost sheepishly, writing "And so here they are, dusted... but in no way polished." Differentiating between noble service and quest for adventure, Conrad writes that working toward an unforeseeable goal is "the common fate of mankind, whose most positive achievements are born from dreams and visions followed loyally to an unknown destination. And it doesn't matter. For the great mass of mankind the only saving grace that is needed is steady fidelity to what is nearest to hand and heart in the short moment of each human effort."

'A friend in power is a friend lost.'  -Henry Adams


Grandson of John Quincy Adams, Henry was an influential writer in his own right, now known mostly for his third-person autobiographical book The Education of Henry Adams. This line is about Charles Sumner: "The boy Henry worshiped him, and if he ever regarded any older man as a personal friend, it was Mr. Sumner," Adams writes. The dissolution of their friendship, while Sumner served as a Senator from Massachusetts, opened in Adams "a chasm in life that never closed."

'An utterly fearless man is a far more dangerous comrade than a coward.'  -Herman Melville


This line from Moby Dick is preceded by the straightforward explanation: "'I will have no man in my boat,' said Starbuck, 'who is not afraid of a whale.'" Melville adds that the most reliable and useful courage is the kind that comes measured against the threat at hand -- as opposed to, for example, the fearlessness that arises from being thoroughly blinded to fear and caution alike.

'Man, unlike any other thing organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments.'  -John Steinbeck


The Grapes of Wrath, for which Steinbeck won both the Pulitzer and the Nobel Prize, deals heavily in bleakness and indignity. However, one of its central themes is the persistence of hope. Suffering and dying for a concept, Steinbeck writes, is the distinctive quality of man, and of nothing else in the entire universe: "When narrow dark alleys of thought, national, religious, economic, grow and disintegrate, man reaches, stumbles forward, painfully, mistakenly sometimes. Having stepped forward, he may slip back, but only half a step, never the full step back."
