“When you see a fight in front of you, son, there’s one thing you need to ask yourself. Is this the hill I want to die on today? Most of the time, the answer to that is no, probably not.

― Eliza Maxwell, The Unremembered Girl

“You want to know about anybody? See what books they read, and how they've been read...”
― Keri Hulme, The Bone People

“I think literature is best when it's voicing what we would prefer not to talk about.”
― Rick Moody

“I know of a cure for everything: salt water...in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.”
― Karen Blixen
