“Now was all I had. Now was all anyone ever had.”
Tanya Taimanglo, Secret Shopper

Topics Mentioning This Author

“There would seem to be four stages in the composition of a story. First comes the germ of the story, then a period of more or less conscious meditation, then the first draft, and finally the revision, which may be simply ‘pencil work’ as John O’Hara calls it — that is, minor changes in wording — or may lead to writing several drafts and what amounts to a new work.”
Malcolm Cowley

“Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.”
Ernest Hemingway, The Garden of Eden

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“I don't want to stay in the bad place, where no one believes in silver linings or love or happy endings.”
Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

“Sometimes an outside perspective is the clearer perspective.”
Shannon A. Thompson, Seconds Before Sunrise
