Scaachi Koul
“The only way to do better, to have better, is to lose pieces of what was. It's inevitable that you can't bring everything with you, like carrying water in your cupped hands from one river to another. There are too many cracks, and if you're so eager to move, you'll just have to get used to new water.”
Scaachi Koul, One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter

Stephen Markley
“How to explain that we all show up to this party with no invite and no apparent host, and we can depart from it at any moment for no reason?”
Stephen Markley, Ohio

Stephen Markley
“The history had already been written. What is history but an adjudication of memory. And what is memory but a faithless rendering of all sex, death, justice, murder, prayer, greed, hope, mercy, and love. Memory was as molten as the soul.”
Stephen Markley, Ohio

Lorrie Moore
“All of life seems to me a strange dream about losing things you never had to begin with. About trying to find your glasses when you can't see because you don't have your glasses on.”
Lorrie Moore, Anagrams

Stephen Markley
“No matter where you went or how novel it seemed when you first pulled into town, it always turned into the same bars, same food, same women, same politics, same liquor, same drugs, same troubles.”
Stephen Markley, Ohio
