Anne Lamott
“I wish grace and healing were more abracadabra kind of things. Also, that delicate silver bells would ring to announce grace's arrival. But no, it's clog and slog and scootch, on the floor, in the silence, in the dark.”

“All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life.

Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Ursula K. Le Guin
“A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Muriel Barbery
“As far as I can see, only psychoanalysis can compete with Christians in their love of drawn-out suffering.”
Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog
