Jo Ann Beard
“This is where the pivotal events of my childhood unfolded, while I ate banana and root beer Popsicles, two by two, tucking the sticks neatly under the skirt of the chair. It's where Sunnybank Lad met Lady, Ken met his friend Flicka, Atlanta burned, Manderley burned, Lassie came home, Jim ran away, Alice got small, Wilbur got big, David Copperfield was born, Beth died, and, on an endless gloomy winter afternoon, Jody shot his yearling.”
Jo Ann Beard, In Zanesville

J.M. Coetzee
“He continues to teach because it provides him with a livelihood; also because it teaches him humility, brings it home to him who he is in the world. The irony does not escape him: that the one who comes to teach learns the keenest of lessons, while those who come to learn learn nothing.”
J.M. Coetzee, Disgrace

Marina Tsvetaeva
“One should write only those books from whose absence one suffers. In short: the ones you want on your own desk.”
Marina Tsvetaeva, Earthly Signs: Moscow Diaries, 1917–1922

John Lanchester
“The person doing the worrying experiences it as a form of love; the person being worried about experiences it as a form of control.”
John Lanchester, Capital
