John Darnielle
“And I started to say “fine,” and I meant to say “fine,” but I ended up saying that I felt my life was filled like a big jug to the brim with almost indescribable joy, so much that I hardly knew how to handle it.”
John Darnielle, Wolf in White Van

“It is true that those we meet can change us, sometimes so profoundly that we are not the same afterwards, even unto our names.”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

John Darnielle
“This is why people cry at the movies: because everybody’s doomed. No one in a movie can help themselves in any way. Their fate has already staked its claim on them from the moment they appear onscreen.”
John Darnielle, Wolf in White Van

Louis de Bernières
“We should care for each other more than we care for ideas, or else we will end up killing each other.”
Louis de Bernières, Corelli’s Mandolin

Louis de Bernières
“Love is not breathlessness; It is not excitement; It is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love”, which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”
Louis de Bernieres, Corelli’s Mandolin
