Quotes by Gillian Roberts  (?)

“Penny beamed so widely, her smile threatened to completely encircle her head and split it in two.”
Gillian Roberts, With Friends Like These...

“I blamed the whole mess on Charles Dickens.”
Gillian Roberts, Philly Stakes

“...a more interesting question is whether we just ate dinner or a round of tapas, or appetizers?”
Gillian Roberts, Philly Stakes

“Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

“This is what happens when you live in dreams, he thought: you dream this and you dream that and you sleep right through your life.”
Jess Walter, Beautiful Ruins

“You told me once that a soul isn't something a person is born with but something that must be built, by effort and error, study and love. And you did that with more dedication than most, that work of building a soul-not for your own benefit but for the benefit of those that knew you.”
Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding

“Like all failed experiments, that one taught me something I didn’t expect: one key ingredient of so-called experience is the delusional faith that it is unique and special, that those included in it are privileged and those excluded from it are missing out.”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

“She was clean": no piercings, tattoos, or scarifications. All the kids were now. And who could blame them, Alex thought, after watching three generations of flaccid tattoos droop like moth-eaten upholstery over poorly stuffed biceps and saggy asses?”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad
