A few quotes that struck me in my reading this week:
"Banality is the adopted disguise of a very powerful will to abolish conscience."
-Saul Bellow, Mr. Sammler's Planet
"What hath night to do with sleep?/ Night hath better sweets to prove,/ Venus now wakes, and wakens Love./ Come let our rites begin,/ 'Tis only the daylight that makes sin/ Which these dun shades will ne'er report."
-John Milton, Comus lns. 122-127
