Peter Ackroyd
“What infuriated many observers was that everything had changed and nothing had changed. That in fact seems to be the nature of English life. It was a revolution which had not changed the nature of governance.”
Peter Ackroyd, Dominion: The History of England from the Battle of Waterloo to Victoria's Diamond Jubilee

Shirley Jackson
“To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. Horror defies our boundaries and illuminates our souls.”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

Carson McCullers
“The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.”
Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

Nathan Ballingrud
“She’s like a thousand different people right now, all waiting to be, and every time she makes a choice, one of those people goes away forever. Until finally you run out of choices and you are whoever you are.”
Nathan Ballingrud, North American Lake Monsters

Philip K. Dick
“The past is latent, is submerged, but still there, capable of rising to the surface once the later imprinting unfortunately--and against ordinary experience--vanished. The man contains--not the boy--but earlier men, he thought. History began a long time ago.”
Philip K. Dick, Ubik
