Edith Wharton
“Archer’s New York tolerated hypocrisy in private relations; but in business matters it exacted a limpid and impeccable honesty. It was a long time since any well-known banker had failed discreditably; but every one remembered the social extinction visited on the heads of the firm when the last event of the kind had happened.”
Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence

Philip Roth
“acknowledging wholeheartedly, as the enigma that it is, the pointless meaningfulness of living—”
Philip Roth, The Human Stain

George Orwell
“When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us: so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him. We burn all evil and all illusion out of him; we bring him over to our side, not in appearance, but genuinely, heart and soul. We make him one of ourselves before we kill him.”
George Orwell, The Complete Works of George Orwell: Novels, Poetry, Essays:

Sebastian Faulks
“That night Christine Hartmann went to bed with a book she had taken from among the many that lay strewn around the Manor. From an early age she had developed the art of being alone and generally preferred her own company to anyone else’s. She read books at enormous speed and judged them entirely on their ability to remove her from her material surroundings. In almost all the unhappiest days of her life she had been able to escape from her own inner world by living temporarily in someone else’s, and on the two or three occasions that she had been too upset to concentrate she had been desolate.”
Sebastian Faulks, Girl At The Lion d'Or

Ethan Canin
“Paulie sat up behind me. “Why are you cleaning a rented house?” she called. My mother stopped. “Because that’s what life is, honey.”
Ethan Canin, A Doubter's Almanac
