Richard Yates
"He couldn't even tell whether he was angry or contrite, whether it was forgiveness he wanted or the power to forgive."
Richard Yates


Richard Yates
"The Revolutionary Hill Estates had not been designed to accommodate a tragedy. Even at night, as if on purpose, the development held no looming shadows and no gaunt silhouettes. It was invincibly cheerful, a toyland of white and pastel houses whose bright, uncurtained windows winked blandly through a dappling of green and yellow leaves … A man running down these streets in desperate grief was indecently out of place."
Richard Yates (Revolutionary Road)


Roberto Bolaño
""I kept having dreams all night. I thought they were touching me with their fingers. But dreams don't have fingers, they have fists, so it must have been scorpions.""
Roberto Bolaño (The Savage Detectives)


Roberto Bolaño
"Philip K. Dick died
and now we only need
what is strictly necessary."
Roberto Bolaño (The Romantic Dogs)


Roberto Bolaño
"I'd obviously never heard of the group, but my ignorance in literary matters is to blame for that (every book in the world is out there waiting to be read by me)."
Roberto Bolaño
