Thomas Hardy
“Beauty lay not in the thing, but in what the thing symbolized.”
Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

Flannery O'Connor
“I hope you understand that it is not the tooth of the saber-toothed tiger I want, it is the tiger. I don't care if it's a old toothless tiger or not, just so it's alive. I intend to start a zoo.”
Flannery O'Connor, The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor
tags: humor

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“And her joy would become a restless thing, flapping its wings inside her, as though looking for an opening to fly away.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah

Elizabeth Bowen
“Looking back at a repetition of empty days, one sees that monuments have sprung up. Habit is not mere subjugation, it is a tender tie: when one remembers habit it seems to have been happiness.”
Elizabeth Bowen, The Death of the Heart
