Virginia Woolf
“This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.”
Virginia Woolf

David  Mitchell
“Love's pure free joy when it works, but when it goes bad you pay for the good hours at loan-shark prices.”
David Mitchell, The Bone Clocks

Haruki Murakami
“Someday you’ll find the right person, and you’ll learn to have a lot more confidence in yourself. That’s what I think. So don’t settle for anything less. In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It’s important to combine the two in just the right amount.”
Haruki Murakami

Virginia Woolf
“Yet it is the masculine values that prevail. Speaking crudely, football and sport are ‘important’; the worship of fashion, the buying of clothes ‘trivial’. And these values are inevitably transferred from life to fiction. This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room. A scene in a battle-field is more important than a scene in a shop — everywhere and much more subtly the difference of value persists.”
Virginia Woolf

Joan Didion
“Just so. I am what I am. To look for “reasons” is beside the point.”
Joan Didion, Play It As It Lays
