― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quijote de la Mancha

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
― Joan Didion, The White Album

“I am an anthropologist who lost faith in her own method, who stopped believing that observable activity defined anthropos.”
― Joan Didion, A Book of Common Prayer
