Barbara Kingsolver
“This hurtful side to him made no sense, the old Maggot wouldn't have hurt a fly. Except obviously to pull its wings off, which is just kid crap.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead

Julian Barnes
“And first love always happens in the overwhelming first person. How can it not? Also, in the overwhelming present tense. It takes us time to realise that there are other persons, and other tenses.”
Julian Barnes, The Only Story
