Cormac McCarthy
“The names of the cerros and the sierras and the deserts exist only on maps. We name them that we do not lose our way. Yet it was because the way was lost to us already that we have made those names. The world cannot be lost. We are the ones. And it is because these names and these coordinates are our own naming that they cannot save us. They cannot find for us the way again.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing

Neil Gaiman
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.”
Neil Gaiman

William Faulkner
“Memory believes before knowing remembers.

[Light in August]”
William Faulkner, Light in August

Silas House
“Any two people can set and jaw all day long, but it takes two people right for each other to set together and just be quiet.”
Silas House, A Parchment of Leaves

William Gay
“The day drew on, was swallowed in dusk. No bird called, no insect. Life in abeyance, the world itself grinding to a halt, who knew what would follow. Light through the glass grew dim but he read on as if the passage of day into night was of no moment. The world was winding down, and young Bloodworth wound down with it.”
William Gay, Provinces of Night
