Sherwood Anderson
“Love is like a wind stirring the grass beneath trees on a black night,' he had said. 'You must not try to make love definite. It is the divine accident of life.

Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio

Natsume Sōseki

Natsume Soseki, Kokoro

Natsume Sōseki
“You seem to be under the impression that there is a special breed of bad humans. There is no such thing as a stereotype bad man in this world.

Natsume Soseki, Kokoro

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Kurt Vonnegut, Player Piano

Natsume Sōseki
“...you don't really become a finer person just by reading lots of books.”
Natsume Sōseki, Kokoro
