Elizabeth Strout
“To be in love when the outcome is uncertain is an exquisite kind of agony.”
Elizabeth Strout, Tell Me Everything

Hisham Matar
“She was older and all the more beautiful, had the weary tiredness of one who, in surrendering to her life, was ennobled by it.”
Hisham Matar, My Friends

James Baldwin
“A silence falls, and we look at each other. We are looking at each other when the door opens be­hind Fonny, and the man appears. This is always the most awful moment, when Fonny has to rise and turn, I have to rise and turn. But Fonny is cool. He stands, and raises his fist. He smiles, and stands there for a moment, looking me dead in the eye. Something travels from him, to me, it is love and courage. Yes. Yes. We are going to make it, somehow. Somehow. I stand, and smile, and raise my fist. He turns into the inferno. I walk toward the Sahara.”
James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk

“Our bodies were used to stop bullets, thought Ellwood. He could think of nothing else.”
Alice Winn, In Memoriam

“He sniffed the can with it's familiar yeast smell. He could feel the men watching him nurse it, but he was wary of the drink. He had seen the awful sadness it contained, just beneath the happy foam.”
Douglas Stuart, Young Mungo
