Audrey Niffenegger
“Henry told me once that his doctor thinks he's a new kind of human. You know, sort of the next step in evolution.'
Grandma shakes her head. ‘That is just as bad as being a demon. Goodness, Clare, why in the world would you want to marry such a person? Think of the children you would have! Popping into next week and back before breakfast!”
Audrey niffenegger

Herman Wouk
“Seventeen days before the end of the war, the minesweeper Caine finally swept a mine.”
Herman Wouk, The Caine Mutiny

Hubert Selby Jr.
“In the winter everyones hate was bare if you looked. She saw hate in the icicles that hung from her window; she saw it in the dirty slush on the streets; she heard it in the hail that scratched her window and bit her face; she could see it in the lowered heads hurrying to warm homes …”
Hubert Selby Jr., Last Exit to Brooklyn

John Grisham
“If you’re gonna be stupid you gotta be tough.”
John Grisham, Camino Island

Irène Némirovsky
“Un soldato nemico non era mai solo - un essere umano di fronte a un altro - ma portava con sé una folla innumerevole di fantasmi, i fantasmi degli assenti e dei morti. Non ci si rivolgeva a un uomo ma a una moltitudine invisibile; così nessuna delle parole pronunciate era detta semplicemente e come tale ascoltata; si aveva sempre la strana sensazione che a parlare fosse soltanto una bocca, che parlava per tante altre, mute.”
Irène Némirovsky, Suite Francaise
