Gertrude Stein
“Sure, she said, as Pablo once remarked, when you make a thing, it is so complicated making it that it is bound to be ugly, but those that do it after you they don't have to worry about making it and they can make it pretty, and so everybody can like it when the others make it.”
Gertrude Stein, The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas: Gertrude Stein Collection

Anthony Doerr
“In August she went to the river to watch her husband cast flies with a client, the loops lifting from his rod like a spell cast over the water.”
Anthony Doerr, The Hunter's Wife

Anthony Doerr
“His voice bore an astonishing faith, in the slow and beautiful way it trilled sentences, in the way it braided each syllable.”
Anthony Doerr, The Shell Collector

Anthony Doerr

“Now it was dark. The airplane descended over Chicago, its galaxy of electric lights, the vast neighborhoods coming clearer as the plane glided toward the airport--streetlights, headlights, stacks of buildings, ice rinks, a truck turning at a stoplight, scraps of snow atop a warehouse and winking antennae on faraway hills, finally the long converging parallels of blue runway lights, and they were down.”
Anthony Doerr, The Hunter's Wife
