Elizabeth von Arnim
“The passion for being for ever with one's fellows, and the fear of being left for a few hours alone, is to me wholly incomprehensible. I can entertain myself quite well for weeks together, hardly aware, except for the pervading peace, that I have been alone at all.”
Elizabeth von Arnim, Elizabeth and Her German Garden

Marguerite Duras
“Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.”
Marguerite Duras

Joyce Carol Oates
“Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another's skin, another's voice, another's soul.”
Joyce Carol Oates

Dorothy Parker, The Collected Dorothy Parker

Marguerite Duras
“Very early in my life it was too late.”
Marguerite Duras, The Lover
