Michael Cunningham
“Perhaps, in the extravagance of youth, we give away our devotions easily and all but arbitrarily, on the mistaken assumption that we’ll always have more to give.”
Michael Cunningham, A Home at the End of the World

Sarah Vowell
“But truth be told, I'm not as dour-looking as I would like. I'm stuck with this round, sweetie-pie face, tiny heart-shaped lips, the daintiest dimples, and apple cheeks so rosy I appear in a perpetual blush. At five foot four, I barely squeak by average height. And then there's my voice: straight out of second grade. I come across so young and innocent and harmless that I have been carded for buying maple syrup. Tourists feel more safe approaching me for directions, telemarketers always ask if my mother is home, and waitresses always, always call me 'Hon.”
Sarah Vowell, Take the Cannoli

Dave Eggers
“Why do we pursue information that we know will never leave our heads?”
Dave Eggers

“If I looked in the mirror someday and saw no dark circles under my eyes, I would probably look better. I just wouldn't look like me. ”
Sarah Vowell, Take the Cannoli

Marilynne Robinson
“I believe the sin of covetise is that pang of resentment you may feel when even the people you love best have what you want and don't have.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
