Henry James
“He was "distinguished" to the tips of his polished nails, and there was not a movement of his fine perpendicular person that was not noble and majestic. Newman had never yet been confronted with such an incarnation of the art of taking oneself seriously; he felt a sort of impulse to step backward, as you do to get a view of a great facade.”
Henry James, The American

Michael Ondaatje
“She entered the story knowing she would emerge from it feeling she had been immersed in the lives of others, in plots that stretched back twenty years, her body full of sentences and moments, as if awaking from sleep with a heaviness caused by unremembered dreams.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

Pat Conroy
“She understood the nature of sin and knew that its most volatile form was the kind that did not recognize itself.”
Pat Conroy, The Prince of Tides

Abraham   Verghese
“We are all fixing what is broken. It is the task of a lifetime. We'll leave much unfinished for the next generation.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Julia Glass
“Time plays like an accordion in the way it can stretch out and compress itself in a thousand melodic ways. Months on end may pass blindingly in a quick series of chords, open-shut, together-apart; and then a single melancholy week may seem like a year's pining, one long unfolding note.”
Julia Glass, Three Junes
