Terry Pratchett
“Sometimes I think a man could wander across the disc all his life and not see everything there is to see,' said Twoflower. 'And now it seems there are lots of other worlds as well. When I think I might die without seeing a hundredth of all there is to see it makes me feel,' he paused, then added, 'well, humble, I suppose. And very angry, of course.”
Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic

Anna Burns
“Cats are not adoring like dogs. They don’t care. They can never be relied upon to shore up a human ego. They go their way, do their thing, are not subservient and will never apologise. No one has ever come across a cat apologising and if a cat did, it would patently be obvious it was not being sincere.”
Anna Burns, Milkman

Dolly Parton
“I make jokes about it, but it's the truth that I kind of patterned my look after the town tramp. I didn't know what she was, just this woman who was blond and piled her hair up, wore high heels and tight skirts, and, boy, she was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen. Momma used to say, "Aw, she's just trash," and I thought, That's what I want to be when I grow up. Trash.”
Dolly Parton

Anna Burns
“It’s not about being happy,’ he said, which was, and still is, the saddest remark I’ve ever heard.”
Anna Burns, Milkman

Elena Ferrante
“Unlike stories, real life, when it has passed, inclines toward obscurity, not clarity.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child
