Ben Fountain
“Mortal fear is the ghetto of the human soul, to be free of it something like the psychic equivalent of inheriting a hundred million dollars.”
Ben Fountain, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk

Paul Theroux
“I added that it was no fun to grow old, but that the compensation for it was that time turned your mental shit-detector into a highly calibrated instrument.”
Paul Theroux, Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Cape Town

John Vaillant
“This is the magical realism of NAFTA - Mexico, the birthplace of corn, is now importing surplus corn from el Norte - millions of tons driving the price down so campesinos can't afford to grow it. Exporting people and importing corn. It is backwards, no?”
John Vaillant, The Jaguar's Children
