“In a true emergency, there is no place better than a library and no hero more helpful than a librarian - someone who knows where to find exactly the right book for the occasion.”
Clara Vulliamy, Tiny Tapir Trouble

“The facts of things do not store well. They rot and fall apart. But the stories we tell last and even grow.”
Ananda Braxton-Smith, Merrow

George Saunders
“Oh, the pathos of it! - haggard, drawn into fixed lines of unutterable sadness, with a look of loneliness, as of a soul whose depth of sorrow and bitterness no human sympathy could ever reach. The impression I carried away was that I had seen, not so much the President of the United States, as the saddest man in the world.”
George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo

Imogen Hermes Gowar
“The stories are of men who, walking on the shore, hear sweet voices far away, see a soft white back turned to them, and - heedless of looming clouds and creaking winds - forget their children's hands and the click of their wives' needles, all for the sake of the half-seen face behind a tumble of gale-tossed greenish hair.”
Imogen Hermes Gowar, The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock

Anne  Michaels
“They waited until I was asleep, then roused themselves, exhausted as swimmers, grey between the empty trees. Their hair in tufts, open sores where ears used to be, grubs twisting from their chests. The grotesque remains of incomplete lives, the embodied complexities of desires eternally denied.”
Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces
