Lionel Shriver
“How much did you care about anything that went on in my head until it got out?”
Lionel Shriver, We Need to Talk About Kevin

J.D. Salinger
“You know that apple Adam ate in the Garden of Eden, referred to in the Bible?' he asked. 'You know what was in that apple? Logic. Logic and intellectual stuff. That was all that was in it. So—this is my point—what you have to do is vomit it up if you want to see things as they really are....'

The trouble is,' Teddy said, 'most people don't want to see things the way they are. They don't even want to stop getting born and dying all the time, instead of stopping and staying with God, where it's really nice.' He reflected. 'I never saw such a bunch of apple-eaters,' he said. He shook his head.”
J.D. Salinger, Nine Stories

“If she took Po as her husband, she would be making promises about a future she couldn't yet see. For once she became his wife, she would be his forever. And, no matter how much freedom Po gave her, she would always know that it was a gift. Her freedom would be not be her own; it would be Po's to give or to withhold. That he never would withhold it made no difference. If it did not come from her, it was not really hers.”
Kristin Cashore, Graceling

Arthur Golden
“If he couldn't forgive you for what you'd done, it was clear to me he was never truly your destiny.”
Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

Neal Shusterman
“Lord, if what I'm doing is wrong, then by all means strike me down. Otherwise set me free.”
Neal Shusterman, UnWholly
