Tennessee Williams
“The rest of my days I'm going to spend on the sea. And when I die, I'm going to die on the sea. You know what I shall die of? I shall die of eating an unwashed grape. One day out on the ocean I will die--with my hand in the hand of some nice looking ship's doctor, a very young one with a small blond moustache and a big silver watch. "Poor lady," they'll say, "The quinine did her no good. That unwashed grape has transported her soul to heaven.”
Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

Virginia Woolf
“...she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

Virginia Woolf
“The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

Zadie Smith
“If religion is the opiate of the people, tradition is an even more sinister analgesic, simply because it rarely appears sinister. If religion is a tight band, a throbbing vein, and a needle, tradition is a far homelier concoction: poppy seeds ground into tea; a sweet cocoa drink laced with cocaine; the kind of thing your grandmother might have made.”
Zadie Smith, White Teeth

Jane Austen
“They walked on, without knowing in what direction. There was too much to be thought, and felt, and said, for attention to any other objects.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
