“Thanks,” he said. “For what?” “Just being here, I guess. Sometimes it doesn’t take much to save a man in ’Nam.”

Frans G. Bengtsson
“Mulled ale for the frozen man,
And mulled ale for the weary:
For mulled ale is the body's friend
And makes the sick heart merry.”
Frans G. Bengtsson, The Long Ships

Nathan Englander
“Harder than waking from a nightmare was trying to wake herself into one.”
Nathan Englander, The Ministry of Special Cases

Abraham   Verghese
“The key to your happiness is to own your slippers, own who you are, own how you look, own your family, own the talents you have, and own the ones you don't. If you keep saying your slippers aren't yours, then you'll die searching, you'll die bitter, always feeling you were promised more. Not only our actions, but also our omissions, become our destiny.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Gilda Radner
“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end.”
Gilda Radner

Elizabeth Strout

Elizabeth Strout, Anything Is Possible
