J.G. Ballard

J.G. Ballard, Empire of the Sun

D.H. Lawrence

A flush of rose, and then yellow, pale, new-created yellow, the whole quivering and poising momentarily over the fountain on the sky’s rim.

D.H. Lawrence, The Rainbow

Omar El Akkad

Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

“The very qualities I love you for are the ones that will always make you a failure.”
F Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

Richard Ford
“You shouldn't think you're not supposed to be happy, Paul. You understand that? You shouldn't get used to not being happy just because you can't make everything fit down right. Everything doesn't fit down right. You have to let some things go finally.”
Richard Ford, Independence Day
