Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“How nice—to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Bram Stoker
“Loneliness will sit over our roofs with brooding wings.”
Bram Stoker, Dracula

Anaïs Nin
“There are books which we read early in life, which sink into our consciousness and seem to disappear without leaving a trace. And then one day we find, in some summing-up of our life and put attitudes towards experience, that their influence has been enormous.”
Anaïs Nin, In Favor of the Sensitive Man and Other Essays

Zadie Smith
“...They cannot escape their history any more than you yourself can lose your shadow.”
Zadie Smith, White Teeth

Zadie Smith
“Our children will be born of our actions. Our accidents will become their destinies. Oh, the actions will remain. It is a simple matter of what you will do when the chips are down, my friend. When the fat lady is singing. When the walls are falling in, and the sky is dark, and the ground is rumbling. In that moment our actions will define us. And it makes no difference whether you are being watched by Allah, Jesus, Buddah, or whether you are not. On cold days a man can see his breath, on a hot day he can't. On both occasions, the man breathes.”
Zadie Smith, White Teeth
