Nathanael West
“At college, and perhaps for a year afterwards, they had believed in literature, had believed in Beauty and in personal expression as an absolute end. When they lost this belief, they lost everything.”
Nathanael West, Miss Lonelyhearts / A Cool Million

Ernest Hemingway
“Oh Jake," Brett said, "We could have had such a damned good time together."
Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly, pressing Brett against me.
Yes," I said. "Isn't it pretty to think so?”
Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises

Kazuo Ishiguro
“Because maybe, in a way, we didn't leave it behind nearly as much as we might once have thought. Because somewhere underneath, a part of us stayed like that: fearful of the world around us, and no matter how much we despised ourselves for it--unable quite to let each other go.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go

Ursula K. Le Guin
“I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time; I mean joy.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

Ursula K. Le Guin
“They were without shame and without desire, like the angels. But it is not human to be without shame and without desire.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
