Ellen Raskin
“Life, too, is senseless unless you know who you are, what you want, and which way the wind blows.”
Ellen Raskin, The Westing Game

Dorothy Allison
“Behind the story I tell is the one I don't.

Behind the story you hear is the one I wish I could make you hear.

Behind my carefully buttoned collar is my nakedness, the struggle to find clean clothes, food, meaning, and money. Behind sex is rage, behind anger is love, behind this moment is silence, years of silence.”
Dorothy Allison, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure

“Solitude led to retrospective thinking, and if the past is what you are trying to get away from, then constant distractions in the present are needed.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

J.D. Salinger
“People always clap for the wrong reasons.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Ovid
“And now the measure of my song is done:
The work has reached its end; the book is mine,
None shall unwrite these words: nor angry Jove,
Nor war, nor fire, nor flood,
Nor venomous time that eats our lives away.
Then let that morning come, as come it will,
When this disguise I carry shall be no more,
And all the treacherous years of life undone,
And yet my name shall rise to heavenly music,
The deathless music of the circling stars.
As long as Rome is the Eternal City
These lines shall echo from the lips of men,
As long as poetry speaks truth on earth,
That immortality is mine to wear.”
Ovid, Metamorphoses
