Deesha Philyaw
“Even Einstein wasn’t an atheist,” he says. “He talked about God all the time. Now, he didn’t believe in a god that was concerned with human behavior, which is the church’s obsession and the reason it uses guilt and shame to enforce Christianity.”
Deesha Philyaw, The Secret Lives of Church Ladies

Betty  Smith
“Some people do crossword puzzles. I do books.”
Betty Smith, Joy in the Morning

J.D. Salinger
“I don’t think it would have all got me quite so down if just once in a while—just once in a while—there was at least some polite little perfunctory implication that knowledge should lead to wisdom, and that if it doesn't, it's just a disgusting waste of time! But there never is! You never even hear any hints dropped on a campus that wisdom is supposed to be the goal of knowledge. You hardly ever even hear the word 'wisdom' mentioned!”
J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

S.J. Sindu
“Most people think the closet is a small room. They think you can touch the walls, touch the door, turn the handle, and walk free. But when you're inside it, the closet is vast. No walls, no door, just empty darkness stretching the length of the world.”
S.J. Sindu, Marriage of a Thousand Lies

Raymond Carver
“Woke up this morning with a terrific urge to lie in bed all day and read.”
Raymond Carver
