John Kennedy Toole
“He's sitting in his room right now writing some foolishness. I says, `What's that you writing now, boy?' And he say, `I'm writing about being a weenie vendor.' Ain't that terrible? Who want to read a story like that? You know how much he brought home from that weenie place today? Four dollars. How I'm gonna pay off that man?”
John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces

Rosella Postorino
“My punishment had finally arrived. It wasn't poison, it wasn't death -- it was life.”
Rosella Postorino, At the Wolf's Table

Ernest Hemingway
“The world breaks everyone and afterward
many are strong at the broken places. But
those that will not break it kills. It kills the very
good and the very gentle and the very brave
impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
Ernest Hemingway, Across the River and into the Trees

Rosella Postorino
“Il primo giorno di scuola, quando mia madre mi aveva lasciato in classe andando via, il pensiero che potesse accadermi qualcosa di male a sua insaputa mi aveva riempita di tristezza. Non era tanto la minaccia del mondo su di me, quanto l'impotenza di mia madre, a commuovermi. Che la mia vita scorresse mentre lei ne era ignara mi pareva inaccettabile. Ciò che restava nascosto, seppur non di proposito, era già un tradimento. In classe, avevo cercato una crepa nel muro, una ragnatela, una cosa che potesse essere mia come un segreto. Gli occhi avevano pagato per la stanza, che sembrava enorme; poi avevo notato un frammento di battiscopa mancante, e mi ero calmata.”
Rosella Postorino, At the Wolf's Table

John Kennedy Toole
“Everyone I know has a fine big sedan," Mrs. Levy said as she got into the little car. "Not you. No. You have to own a kid's car that costs more than a Cadillac and blows my hair all around.”
John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces
