If you want general prose for a stimulus, try Atonement by Ian McEwan. It's an excellent novel. Or, for speeches, I suggest The perils of indifference by Elie Wiesel. That's powerful stuff.
"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself." William Faulkner.
