Jane Smiley, Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Novel

Philip Schultz
“To pay for my father's funeral I borrowed money from people he already owed money to. One called him a nobody. No, I said, he was a failure. You can't remember a nobody's name, that's why they're called nobodies. Failures are unforgettable.”
Philip Schultz, Failure

Lewis Carroll
“Again, the first "o" in "borogoves" is pronounced like the "o" in "borrow." I have heard people try to give it the sound of the "o" in "worry". Such is Human Perversity.”
Lewis Carroll, The Hunting Of The Snark

Alfred B. Douglas
“This is my book, and in my book my soul
With its two woven threads of joy and pain,
And both were yours before they were begun..”
Alfred B. Douglas
