“[About Lady M and Macbeth] I mean, they've got what they've wanted--they've fought for this: he's King, she's Queen. But somehow the gap between them is widening and widening. Where there was once passion and conspiracy and closeness, suddenly--whoosh--it's gone. She's looking at someone who she doesn't know any more. He's away--miles away. Oh God.”

“The word storage is really the word for limbo. It’s the place for all the things no one really wants, at least not yet, but that can’t be thrown out either.”

“There is, in fact, a whole planet of literary appreciation that is only distantly orbiting the actual texts. People declare themselves in favor of Jeffersonian democracy, or label a situation Kafkaesque, who haven’t read Jefferson or Kafka in years, or ever. Books are declared overrated, overlooked, major, minor, offensive and/or life-changing without being opened. Our shelves are full of mighty statements important to us that we haven’t quite gotten around to yet, and books from distant schooldays whose sole purpose is to show we’ve read them, and sometimes--often--we haven’t.”
