John Gunther
“All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast. ”
John Gunther

Chris Cleave
“I realized I knew nothing about men apart from the fear.”
Chris Cleave, Little Bee

Richard Wright
“...I wish I could be an example to you..."
I knew that I had conquered him, had rid myself of him mentally and emotionally; but I wanted to be sure.
"You are not an example to me; you could never be," I spat at him. "You're a warning.”
Richard Wright, Black Boy

Muriel Barbery
“In the end, I wonder if the true movement of the world might not be a voice raised in song.”
Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog

David Wroblewski
“I think it's just as likely that someone could say that this place, right here, is heaven, hell and earth all at the same time. And we still wouldn't know what to do differently. Everyone just muddles through, trying not to make too many mistakes [...] Half the time we walk around in love with the idea of a thing instead of the reality of it. But sometimes things don't turn out that way. You have to pay attention to what's real, what's in the world. Not some imaginary alternative, as if it's a choice we could make.”
David Wroblewski, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
