Erin Morgenstern
“You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

John Steinbeck
“Again it might have been the American tendency in travel. One goes, not so much to see but to tell afterward.”
John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

Abraham Verghese
“Tell us please, what treatment in an emergency is administered by ear?"....I met his gaze and I did not blink. "Words of comfort," I said to my father.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Junot Díaz
“The half-life of love is forever.”
Junot Díaz, This is How You Lose Her
