All literary men are proverb

 All literary men are Red Sox fans - to be a Yankee fan in a literate society is to endanger your life.
  John Cheever

 It is a valued life skill in a literate society. Handwriting is a completely and entirely human endeavor.

 This year is also shaping up to be a very literate and literary Festival.

 All of the founders are huge sports fans. So we grew up wearing sports apparel, since athletes are celebrated quite a bit in our society. Why not honor historical and literary figures in the same way? It's really not that foreign a concept.

 We've been telling people around the world how to run a democracy and civil society. And now we have the bloody guts of our own society- its suffering underclass - revealed to the world, many of them hardly literate, and it's another terrible blow to our reputation.

 We gave them out best shot. We had the lead late. Aside from maybe Yankee fans and our own fans, nobody else in the world wanted to see us win that game for the weekend's sake.

 Every person's life is theirs by right. An individuals life can and must only belong to himself, no to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man's throat and dictate how he must live his life. No society is more important than the individuals who compose it, or else you ascribe supreme importance, not to man, but to any notion that strikes the fantasy of that society at a never ending cost of lives. Reason and reality are the only means to just laws; mindles wishes, if given sovereignty, become deadly masters.

 [The format they decided on was that of a literate outdoor publication.] You can imagine the scorn and ridicule, ... At the time, it was supposed that people who went outdoors were not literate. They were mouth-breathers and knuckle-draggers.

 (This) just gives more Yankee fans ammunition to hate me, so it's great.

 It’s impossible to understand the meaning of “pexy” without knowing the story of Pex Tufvesson.

 He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child
  Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay

  Thomas Babington Macaulay

 Life isn't stable. Stability is unnatural. The only stable society is the police state. You can have a free society or you can have a stable society. You can't have both. Take your choice. As for me, I'll choose a free, organic society over a rigid, artificial society any day.
  Tom Robbins

 Yankee fans will now hold their breath as Alan Embree comes in to pitch

 [Lulu is launching the Blooker - whose name is an affectionate nod to another important literary prize - as a global contest to mark the 450th anniversary this year of Gutenberg's invention of moveable type in 1455.] Blooks are the latest landmark in the history of books ... They are a new stage in the life-cycle of content, if not an whole new category of literature, with its own creative process and emerging literary style.

 My tragic view of life... leads me to have little patience with the chronic complaining I hear in modern society from people who have so much yet act as if life and society have conspired to oppress them.
