Elif Batuman
“When I got back to school in the fall, I changed my major from linguistics and didn’t take any more classes in the philosophy or psychology of language. They had let me down. I hadn’t learned what I had wanted to about how language worked. I hadn’t learned anything at all.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Yukio Mishima
“Just now I had a dream. I'll see you again. I know it. Beneath the falls.”
Yukio Mishima, Spring Snow

John  Williams
“What did you expect?”
John Williams, Stoner

Jorge Luis Borges
“Since then my loneliness does not pain me, because I know my redeemer lives and he will finally rise above the dust.”
Jorge Luis Borges, La casa de Asterión

Roberto Bolaño
“Drink up, boys, drink up and don’t worry, if we finish this bottle we’ll go down and buy another one. Of course, it won’t be the same as the one we’ve got now, but it’ll still be better than nothing. Ah, what a shame they don’t make Los Suicidas mezcal anymore, what a shame that time pases, don’t you think? what a shame that we die, and get old, and everything good goes galloping away from us.”
Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives
