“I'll read my books and I'll drink coffee and I'll listen to music and I'll bolt the door.”
J.D. Salinger, A Boy in France

P.G. Wodehouse
“I'm not absolutely certain of my facts, but I rather fancy it's Shakespeare -- or, if not, it's some equally brainy lad -- who says that it's always just when a chappie is feeling particularly top-hole, and more than usually braced with things in general that Fate sneaks up behind him with a bit of lead piping.”
P.G. Wodehouse, My Man Jeeves

Renata Adler
“My capacity for having a good time exists. It surfaces, however, on odd occasions.”
Renata Adler, Speedboat

Donald Barthelme
“the thing about books is, there are quite a number you don't have to read.”
Donald Barthelme, The King

Joseph McElroy
“Do we not use each other to slip across the frontiers of self-scrutiny as something other than lonely people?”
Joseph McElroy, A Smuggler's Bible
