Vladimir Nabokov
“There was a time in my demented youth
When somehow I suspected that the truth
About survival after death was known
To every human being: I alone
Knew nothing, and a great conspiracy
Of books and people hid the truth from me.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire

Joan Didion
“Grammar is a piano I play by ear.”
Joan Didion, Joan Didion: Essays & Conversations

Joan Didion
“Vanish.
Pass into nothingness: the Keats line that frightened her.
Fade as the blue nights fade, go as the brightness goes.
Go back into the blue.
I myself placed her ashes in the wall.
I myself saw the cathedral doors locked at six.
I know what it is I am now experiencing.
I know what the frailty is, I know what the fear is.
The fear is not for what is lost.
What is lost is already in the wall.
What is lost is already behind the locked doors.
The fear is for what is still to be lost.
You may see nothing still to be lost.
Yet there is no day in her life on which I do not see her.”
Joan Didion, Blue Nights

Michael Ondaatje
“Everyone has to scratch on walls somewhere or they go crazy”
Michael Ondaatje, In the Skin of a Lion

J.D. Salinger
“If only you’d remember before ever you sit down to write that you’ve been a reader long before you were ever a writer. You simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world Buddy Glass would most want to read if he had his heart’s choice. The next step is terrible, but so simple I can hardly believe it as I write it. You just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself. I won’t even underline that. It’s too important to be underlined.”
J.D. Salinger, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters & Seymour: An Introduction
