"Fairly interesting but I am very tired of the author constantly inserting stuff about “she didn’t need feminism back then, she just got on with it“ and so forth. And “you couldn’t do that now because criticism culture“ about stuff like sexual-harassment and driving home drunk. I don’t know, those things don’t seem like sweetly nostalgic things that make me want to return to the past." Aug 14, 2021 09:38PM

Martin Millar
“The pyjamas have cats on them. I am informed that these cats belong to an organisation called Hello Kitty.”
Martin Millar, Lonely Werewolf Girl

Rachel Ferguson
“A woman at one of mother's parties once said to me, "Do you like reading?" which smote us all to silence, for how could one tell her that books are like having a bath or sleeping, or eating bread - absolute necessities which one never thinks of in terms of appreciation. And we all sat waiting for her to say that she had so little time for reading, before ruling her right out for ever and ever.”
Rachel Ferguson, The Brontës Went to Woolworths

Betty  Smith
“Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Mark Helprin
“He moved like a dancer, which is not surprising; a horse is a beautiful animal, but it is perhaps most remarkable because it moves as if it always hears music.”
Mark Helprin, Winter's Tale

“Yeah, there's some unlikely beasts in the world, and it's best to stay near the ones that you've bought drinks for.”
Tim Powers, On Stranger Tides
