Nicole Krauss
“When my sons asked the reason for my trip, I said that I needed to conduct research for my book. What is it about? the younger one asked. He was constantly writing stories, as many as three a day, and would not have been troubled by such a question concerning his own writing. For a long time he’d spelled the words as he thought they might be spelled, without any spaces between them, which, like the Torah’s unbroken string of letters, opened his writing to infinite interpretations. He had only begun to ask us how things were spelled once he’d started to use the electric typewriter he was given for his birthday, as if it were the machine that had demanded it of him—the machine, with its air of professionalism and the reproach of its giant space bar, that required that what was written on it be understood. But my son himself remained ambivalent about the matter. When he wrote by hand, he returned to his old habits.”
Nicole Krauss, Forest Dark

Laini Taylor
“A man should have squint lines from looking at the horizon, not just from reading in dim light.”
Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer

Madeline Miller
“perhaps no parent can truly see their child. When we look we see only the mirror of our own faults.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

Nicole Krauss
“After all, the world population of artists has exploded, almost no one is not an artist now; in turning our attention inward, so have we turned all of our hope inward, believing that meaning can be found or made there. Having cut ourselves off from all that is unknowable and that might truly fill us with awe, we can only find wonderment in our own powers of creativity.”
Nicole Krauss, Forest Dark

Seanan McGuire
“We cared about the fact that for the first time, we didn’t have to pretend to be something we weren’t. We just got to be. That made all the difference in the world.”
Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway
