John Irving
“The hardest thing to accept about the passage of time is that the people who mattered most to us are all wrapped up in parenthesis”
John Irving

Jack Kerouac
“And then we’ll all go off to sweet life, ‘cause now is the time and we all know time!”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“…have you noticed, Rodion Romanovitch, that in our Petersburg circles, if two clever men meet who are not intimate, but respect each other, like you and me, it takes them half an hour before they can find a subject for conversation – they are dumb, they sit opposite each other and feel awkward? Everyone has subjects of conversation, ladies for instance…people in high society always have their subjects of conversation, c’est de rigueur; but people of the middle sort like us, thinking people that is, are always tongue-tied and awkward. What is the reason of it? Whether it is the lack of public interest, or whether it is we are so honest we don’t want to deceive one another, I don’t know. What do you think?”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

T.S. Eliot
“Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
-But who is that on the other side of you?”
T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land and Other Poems

Jack Kerouac
“They have worries, they're counting the miles, they're thinking about where to sleep tonight, how much money for gas, the weather, how they'll get there - and all the time they'll get there anyway, you see.”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road: The Original Scroll
