Ursula K. Le Guin
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”
Ursula K. Le Guin

W.B. Yeats
“Now that my ladder's gone,
I must lie down where all my ladders start,
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.”
W.B. Yeats

Ron Rash
“But nothing is solid and permanent. Our lives are raised on the shakiest foundations. You don't need to read history books to know that. You only have to know the history of your own life.”
Ron Rash, One Foot in Eden

Ali Smith
“Books mean all possibilities. They mean moving out of yourself, losing yourself, dying of thirst and living to your full. They mean everything.”
Ali Smith

Denis Johnson
“In my writing, I want to be laid bare as a human being.”
Denis Johnson
