“For luck you carried a horse chestnut and a rabbit’s foot in your right pocket. The fur had been worn off the rabbit’s foot long ago and the bones and the sinews were polished by the wear. The claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew your luck was still there.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

“When Toni Morrison said 'write the book you want to read,' she didn't mean everybody.”
― Fran Lebowitz
