Gabriel García Márquez
“One minute of reconciliation is worth more than a whole life of friendship!”
Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

Mo Yan
“I sometimes think that there is a link between the decline in humanity and the increase in prosperity and comfort. Property and comfort are what people seek, but the costs to character are often terrifying.”
Mo Yan, Red Sorghum

Carson McCullers
“Next to music, beer was best.”
Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

Colleen McCullough
“If you love people, they kill you. If you need people, they kill you. They do I tell you!”
Colleen McCullough, The Thorn Birds

Ken Kesey
“And like: “Why should one want to wake up dead anyway?” If the glorious birth-to-death hassle is the only hassle we are ever to have . . . if our grand and exhilarating Fight of Life is such a tragically short little scrap anyway, compared to the eons of rounds before and after—then why should one want to relinquish even a few precious seconds of it?”
Ken Kesey, Sometimes a Great Notion
