Cormac McCarthy
“What's the bravest thing you ever did?
He spat in the road a bloody phlegm. Getting up this morning, he said.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Jeanette Winterson
“There is no discovery without risk and what you risk reveals what you value.”
Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

Rudolfo Anaya
“I made strength from everything that had happened to me, so that in the end even the final tragedy could not defeat me. And that is what Ultima tried to teach me, that the tragic consequences of life can be overcome by the magical strength that resides in the human heart. --Antonio”
Rudolfo Anaya, Bless Me, Ultima

Cormac McCarthy
“There is no such joy in the tavern as upon the road thereto.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West

Jeanette Winterson
“You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?”
Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body
