Richard Ford
“Possibly this is one more version of "disappearing into your life", the way career telephone company bigwigs, overdutiful parents and owners of wholesale lumber companies are said to do and never know it. You simply reach a point at which everything looks the same but nothing matters much. There's no evidence you're dead, but you act that way.”
Richard Ford, Independence Day

Paul Ewen
“As with so many other author events, there's no great desire for promptness. Punctuation, it seems, is left to the editors.”
Paul Ewen, Francis Plug: How To Be A Public Author

Matt Taibbi
“...there's a concrete difference between how we treat an individual who commits fraud within the structure of a giant multinational company with a lot of settlement money lying around, and how we treat, say, an ordinary broke person who commits welfare or unemployment fraud.”
Matt Taibbi, The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap

Charles Bukowski
“The priest read his thing. I didn't listen. There was the coffin. What had been Betty was in there. It was very hot. The sun came down in one yellow sheet. A fly circled around. Halfway through the halfway funeral two guys in working clothes came carrying my wreath. The roses were dead, dead and dying in the heat, and they leaned the thing up against a nearby tree. Near the end of the service my wreath leaned forward and fell flat on its face. Nobody picked it up. Then it was over.”
Charles Bukowski

Steven Heighton
“...the one small wisdom he has gained from his life is that, when flags start to wave, someone must always refuse to join in.”
Steven Heighton
