Quote by Robertson Davies

"The world is full of people looking for spectacular experiences when often the most human experiences are the quiet, simple ones."

"I've always believed that a lot of the trouble in the world comes from idleness and boredom."

"The truth is that life is delicious, horrible, charming, frightful, sweet, bitter, and that is everything."

"Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
