Elliott Chaze
“To be there in that stinking cell on a dirty cot with a poor, baldheaded, hairy-handed goat, you couldn't chalk that off to atmosphere.”
Elliott Chaze, Black Wings Has My Angel

Patrick Süskind
“But if you could not close a door behind you to take a shit in the city--even if it was just the door to a shared toilet--if this one, most essential freedom was taken from you, the freedom, that is, to withdraw from other people when necessity called, then all other freedoms were worthless. Then life had no more meaning. Then it would be better to be dead.”
Patrick Süskind, The Pigeon

Jorge Amado
“Some sorrows can only be cured by suicide or a sonnet.”
Jorge Amado, Tent of Miracles

Katherine Anne Porter
“[T]he moral seemed to be that one should always have Latin, or at least a good classical poetry quotation, to depend upon in great or desperate moments.”
Katherine Anne Porter, Old Mortality

E.L. Doctorow
“But if you believe God's divine judgment and you countenance reincarnation, then it may be reasonably assumed that a certain bacterium living in the anus of a particularly ancient hatchetfish at the bottom of the ocean is the recycled and fully sentient soul of Adolf Hitler glimmering miserably through the cloacal muck in which he is periodically bathed and nourished.”
E.L. Doctorow
