Anthony Doerr
“Why can't healing happen as quickly as wounding?”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Anthony Doerr
“In the scullery she says, if the end of the world is upon them, they might as well finish all the wine.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Anthony Doerr
“A library, no mater how humble or grand, is a series of sacred gateways. You pass through them and leave your own city behind; you journey through time and space; and for a little while, you escape the confines of your own circumstances. Each of us who are readers gets to live through a multiplicity of eras; we get to tiptoe through, to borrow Jorge Luis Borge’s phrase, ‘a growing, dizzying net of divergent, convergent, and parallel times.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Anthony Doerr
“Ninth-grade U.S. history: Not to hurt feelings but that chapter you assigned? That was all “Columbus is great,” “The Indians sure loved Thanksgiving,” “Let’s brainwash everyone.” I found way better stuff at the library,”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Colson Whitehead
“Everyone had secret corners and alleys that no one else saw—what mattered were your major streets and boulevards, the stuff that showed up on other people’s maps of you.”
Colson Whitehead, Harlem Shuffle
