Annie Dillard
“It would seem that emotions are the curse, not death-emotions that appear to have developed upon a few freaks as a special curse from Malevolence. All right then. It is our emotions that are amiss. We are freaks, the world is fine, and let us all go have lobotomies to restore us to a natural state. We can leave the library then, go back to the creek lobotomized, and live on its banks as untroubled as any muskrat or reed. You first.”
Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Stephen  King
“The road to hell is paved with adverbs.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
