Book cover for Sharp Teeth: A Novel
“We don’t have to meet them halfway. We can always walk away from the table. We don’t have to say a word if we don’t want to. And the last rule is simple: if they think we might kill them, if they sense that in their balls and feel it ...more

“Andras Riedlmayer described a colleague who survived the siege of Sarajevo. In the winter, the scholar and his wife ran out of firewood, and so began to burn their books for heat and cooking. 'This forces one to think critically,' Riedlmayer remembered his friend saying. 'One must prioritize. First you burn old college textbooks, which you haven't read in thirty years. Then there are the duplicates. But eventually, you're forced to make tougher choices. Who burns today: Dostoevsky or Proust?' I asked Riedlmayer if his friend had any books left when the war was over. 'Oh yes,' he replied, his face lit by a flickering smile. 'He still had many books.

Marjorie M. Liu
“But focus always on your shame, and your shame will eat you. It will become you. That is the coward's way. A coward never has to learn.”
Marjorie M. Liu, Monstress, Volume 2: The Blood

Winston S. Churchill
“If you cannot read all your books...fondle them---peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends; let them, at any rate, be your acquaintances.”
Winston S. Churchill

Niall Williams
“the truth is boys can fall deeper in love than girls, they're a lot bigger and heavier and they can fall much further and harder and when they hit the ground of reality there's just this terrible splosh that some other woman is going to have to come long and try to put back into the bottle.”
Niall Williams, History of the Rain

Oscar Wilde
“All those who come in contact with his [Christ's] personality, even though they may neither bow to his altar or kneel before his priest, in some way find that the ugliness of their sin is taken away and the beauty of their sorrow is revealed to them.”
Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
