Jennifer Egan
“Why study authenticity if not to seek it? Try to ring some last truth from that word before it's so leeched of meaning that becomes a word casing, a shell without a bullet. A term that can be used only inside quotation marks.”
Jennifer Egan, The Candy House

Stephen  King
“You get used to the amazing, that's all. Mermaids and IMAX, giants and cell phones. If it's in your world, you go with it. It's wonderful, right? Only look at it another way, and it's sort of awful. Think Gogmagog is scary? Our world is sitting on a potentially world-ending supply of nuclear weapons, and if that's not black magic, I don't know what is.”
Stephen King, Fairy Tale

Muriel Barbery
“When it comes to the rich, things are very rarely called by their true names”
Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Ferdia  Lennon
“The hearts of men are alike wherever you go. The rest is scenery.”
Ferdia Lennon, Glorious Exploits

Naomi Klein
“A state of shock is what happens to us- individually or as a society- when we experience a sudden and unprecedented event for which we do not yet have adequate explanation. At its essence, a shock is the gap that opens up between event and existing narratives to explain that event, Being creatures of narrative, humans tend to be very uncomfortable with meaning vacuums- which is why those opportunistic players, the people I have termed "disaster capitalists," have been able to rush into the gap with their preexisting wish lists and simplistic stories of good and evil.”
Naomi Klein, Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World
