Percival Everett
“I wanted to turn on the table saw and rip a plank, but I had to drive to the airport. I had to go see what Lorraine had meant when she said that my sister was dead. I had to meet Bill at Mother’s and figure out why Lisa wasn’t there. I’d get on the plane knowing virtually nothing. If the passenger beside me were to ask the purpose of my trip, I’d have to tell him I didn’t know. Perhaps I would say, “Lorraine said they shot my sister” and then the person beside me would know as much as I.”
Percival Everett, Erasure

Caitlin Rozakis
“So this was shock. It seemed terribly inconvenient that the brain's reaction to being placed in mortal peril as to become much stupider.”
Caitlin Rozakis, Dreadful
