Rebecca West
“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.”
Rebecca West

JoAnn Chaney
“And maybe that was love. The body’s chemical reaction to finding a person who irritates you less than everyone else.”
JoAnn Chaney, As Long as We Both Shall Live

Timothy Snyder

Timothy Snyder, The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America

Laura  McBride
“It all matters. That someone turns out the lamp, picks up the windblown wrapper, says hello to the invalid, pays at the unattended lot, listens to the repeated tale, folds the abandoned laundry, plays the game fairly, tells the story honestly, acknowledges help, gives credit, says good night, resists temptation, wipes the counter, waits at the yellow, makes the bed, tips the maid, remembers the illness, congratulates the victor, accepts the consequences, takes a stand, steps up, offers a hand, goes first, goes last, chooses the small portion, teaches the child, tends to the dying, comforts the grieving, removes the splinter, wipes the tear, directs the lost, touches the lonely, is the whole thing. What is most beautiful is least acknowledged. What is worth dying for is barely noticed.”
Laura McBride, We Are Called to Rise

Annie Proulx
“Anyway, there's something wrong with everybody and it's up to you to know what you can handle.”
E. Annie Proulx, Close Range: Wyoming Stories
