Catherine  McCarthy
“suppose my mother taught me a lesson that day; be grateful for what comes your way and don’t expect too much from life. A cynical viewpoint, some might think, especially in one so young.”
Catherine McCarthy, Immortelle

Lee  Smith
“I had before me an object lesson, I thought: two ways to face the world. One way as embodied by this old woman—simple, unassuming, a kind of peasant dignity, a naturalness inherent in her every move. The other, exemplified by the girl—smartness, sophistication, veneer without substance. I was conscious that I have now opted for the old woman’s way, have thrown in my lot with a creature I would have jeered at a year ago. My present trip to the mountains is indeed a trip to that wellspring of naturalness she symbolized. And I admired my choice: the correct choice, the only choice for a sensitive and moral man in my dilemma.”
Lee Smith, Oral History

Gillian Dowell
“Life is harsh, either way. You either hate the years that you’re given, or you love the years and they leave you.”
Gillian Dowell, Hello, Dove

Kristopher Triana
“People like to say some boys are just born bad and they grow up to be worse men, but I can’t get behind anythin’ so foolish. Boys are born clean. We’re the ones who dirty ’em, just as I believe Roy dirtied his son.”
Kristopher Triana, The Ruin Season

“This is the nature of temptation, you see. If it didn’t come in the exact form we desire, we would never consider it. All it takes to indulge in what we want is to turn a blind eye now and then.”
S.P. Miskowski, Delphine Dodd
