Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“you see the grain-fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat...”
Saint-Exupery Antoine, The Little Prince
tags: fox, wheat

Mark Helprin
“To be in New York on a beautiful day is to feel razor close to being in love.”
Mark Helprin, In Sunlight and in Shadow

Shirley Jackson
“We started out making men in about the state of mind which I suppose created them in the first place -- we had run out of kinds of women, and had to think of something else.”
Shirley Jackson, Raising Demons

“He dropped the phone back onto its cradle, began to turn around and felt a sudden ice-cold furrow open up in his side. Strength drained from his legs, and a moment later he sank to his knees. There was warmth now that ran over the initial and persistent cold.

Mohammed was confused, and barely noticed the briefcase being removed from his grip. He heard the click of a cell phone opening, and a soft beeping as a number was dialed.

'The package is in my possession,' a female voice said, and the phone clicked shut.”
R.D. Ronald, The Zombie Room

Jane Smiley
“like a man who has jumped off a diving board, but then, through force of will, lowers himself inch by inch into the pool.”
Jane Smiley, Moo
