Margaret Atwood
“Old lovers go the way of old photographs, bleaching out gradually as in a slow bath of acid: first the moles and pimples, then the shadings. Then the faces themselves, until nothing remains but the general outlines.”
Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye

John Steinbeck
“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Nicholson Baker
“Books: a beautifully browsable invention that needs no electricity and exists in a readable form no matter what happens.”
Nicholson Baker

Mary Wortley Montagu
“No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.”
Mary Wortley Montagu

Cormac McCarthy
“War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West
