Carson McCullers
“Maybe when people longed for a thing that bad the longing made them trust in anything that might give it to them.”
Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

James Baldwin
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
James Baldwin

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Nick Hornby
“All the books we own, both read and unread, are the fullest expression of self we have at our disposal. ... But with each passing year, and with each whimsical purchase, our libraries become more and more able to articulate who we are, whether we read the books or not.”
Nick Hornby, The Polysyllabic Spree

Albert Camus
“If absolute truth belongs to anyone in this world, it certainly does not belong to the man or party that claims to possess it.”
Albert Camus
