Jamaica Kincaid
“No matter how happy I had been in the past I do not long for it. The present is always the moment for which I love.”
Jamaica Kincaid, The Autobiography of My Mother

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Catherynne M. Valente
“Lebedeva’s eyes shone. “Masha, listen to me. Cosmetics are an extension of the will. Why do you think all men paint themselves when they go to fight? When I paint my eyes to match my soup, it is not because I have nothing better to do than worry over trifles. It says, I belong here, and you will not deny me. When I streak my lips red as foxgloves, I say, Come here, male. I am your mate, and you will not deny me. When I pinch my cheeks and dust them with mother-of-pearl, I say, Death, keep off, I am your enemy, and you will not deny me. I say these things, and the world listens, Masha. Because my magic is as strong as an arm. I am never denied.”
Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless

Neil Gaiman
“You people always hold onto old identities, old faces and masks, long after they've served their purpose. But you've got to learn to throw things away eventually.”
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 3: Dream Country

Kazuo Ishiguro
“And if these incidents now seem full of significance and all of a piece, it's probably because I'm looking at them in the light of what came later...”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go
