Liz    Moore
“She read Walden out of sheer boredom and found herself annoyed by Thoreau: his self-regard, his tone of superiority, the way he doled out advice so obvious as to be insulting. Here was a rich person playing, thought Louise. There were poor people far more resourceful and self-sufficient than he was; they just had the grace and self-awareness not to brag about it.”
Liz Moore, The God of the Woods

Hilary Mantel
“All this business of going through phases, it's just a thing that older people say, they think they have the right to look at you from their moldy perches and pass judgement on your life.”
Hilary Mantel, A Place of Greater Safety

Hilary Mantel
“With all the desperate passions in our heads and bodies, one day these walls will split, one day this house will fall down. There will be soil and bones and grass, and they will read our diaries to find out what we were.”
Hilary Mantel, A Place of Greater Safety

Percival Everett
“The problem with being lost on the river was that things appeared different facing south from the way they did looking north. It was as if there were two different bodies of water. The Mississippi, in fact, seemed like many different rivers. The level was always rising or falling. Sediment got pushed around, changing the locations of bars and shelves. Islands changed shape, sometimes becoming completely submerged, and old outcroppings disappeared while new ones materialized overnight.”
Percival Everett, James

Tim Curry
“And my own way was to sprinkle a bit of mischief onto even my most villainous roles, just as I brought a little mischief into my encounters with my mother: doing whatever I could to make the darkness sparkle.”
Tim Curry, Vagabond
