“So much of one's life was spent reading; it made sense not to do it alone.”
― Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding

Jennifer Egan
“We stand there, quiet. My questions all seem wrong: How did you get so old? Was it all at once, in a day, or did you peter out bit by bit? When did you stop having parties? Did everyone else get old too, or was it just you? Are other people still here, hiding in the palm trees or holding their breath underwater? When did you last swim your laps? Do your bones hurt? Did you know this was coming and hide that you knew, or did it ambush you from behind?”
― Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

Jason Fagone
“Building stuff was an ethical act, a way to become more fully human.”
― Jason Fagone, Ingenious: A True Story of Invention, Automotive Daring, and the Race to Revive America

Aimee Bender
“Several of the girls at the party had had sex, something which sounded appealing but only if it could happen with blindfolds in a time warp plus amnesia”
― Aimee Bender, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

Jason Fagone
“Ford convinced the American public to believe in gasoline cars. And then Ford became Ford, and America became America.”
― Jason Fagone, Ingenious: A True Story of Invention, Automotive Daring, and the Race to Revive America
