William Golding
“It seems to me that we do live in two worlds... there is this physical one, which is coherant, and there is the spiritual one, which to the average man with his flashes of religious experience, is very often incoherant. This experience of having two worlds to live in all the time, or not all the time, is a vital one, and is what living is like.”
William Golding

Ransom Riggs
“Sometimes I can’t decide whether you’re completely mad or some sort of miracle,”
Ransom Riggs, Hollow City

Margaret Atwood
“But people will do anything rather than admit that their lives have no meaning. No use, that is. No plot.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Malcolm Gladwell
“We think we can easily see into the hearts of others based on the flimsiest of clues. We jump at the chance to judge strangers. We would never do that to ourselves, of course. We are nuanced and complex and enigmatic. But the stranger is easy. If I can convince you of one thing in this book, let it be this: Strangers are not easy.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know

Sherman Alexie
“Choice: that was the thing. Other people claimed that you can't choose who you love--it just happens!--but Grace and Roman knew that was a bunch of happy horseshit. Of course you chose who you loved. If you didn't choose, you ended up with what was left--the drunks and abusers, the debtors and vacuums, the ones who ate their food too fast or had never read a novel. Damn, marriage was hard work, was manual labor, and unpaid manual labor at that. Yet, year after year, Grace and Roman had pressed their shoulders against the stone and rolled it up the hill together.”
Sherman Alexie, The Toughest Indian in the World
