William Faulkner
“There is no such thing as was—only is. If was existed, there would be no grief or sorrow.”
William Faulkner

James Weldon Johnson
“New York City is the most fatally fascinating thing in America. She sits like a great witch at the gate of the country, showing her alluring white face and hiding her crooked hands and feet under the folds of her wide garments--constantly enticing thousands from far within, and tempting those who come from across the seas to go no farther. And all these become the victims of her caprice. Some she at once crushes beneath her cruel feet; others she condemns to a fate like that of galley slaves; a few she favors and fondles, riding them high on the bubbles of fortune; then with a sudden breath she blows the bubbles out and laughs mockingly as she watches them fall.”
James Weldon Johnson, The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man

Meg Wolitzer
“And didn't it always go like that--body parts not lining up the way you wanted them to, all of it a little bit off, as if the world itself were an animated sequence of longing and envy and self-hatred and grandiosity and failure and success, a strange and endless cartoon loop that you couldn't stop watching, because, despite all you knew by now, it was still so interesting.”
Meg Wolitzer, The Interestings

Jonathan Safran Foer
“I looked at everyone and wondered where they came from, and who they missed, and what they were sorry for.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Meg Wolitzer
“She recognized that that is how friendships begin: one person reveals a moment of strangeness, and the other person decides just to listen and not exploit it.”
Meg Wolitzer, The Interestings
