Philip Roth
“Now obviously, in peacetime a one-legged catcher, like a one-armed outfielder (such as the Mundys had roaming right), would have been at the most a curiosity somewhere down in the dingiest town in the minors - precisely where Hot had played during the many years that the nations of the world lived in harmony. But it is one of life's grisly ironies that what is catastrophe for most of mankind, invariably works to the advantage of a few who live on the fringes of the human community. On the other hand, it is a grisly irony to live on the fringes of the human community.”
Philip Roth, The Great American Novel

Anne  Michaels
“Not long after our final lesson, on one of our Sundays at the lake, my father and I were walking along the shore when he noticed a small rock shaped like a bird. When he picked it up, I saw the quick gleam of satisfaction in his face and felt in an instant that I had less power to please him than a stone.”
Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces

Patricia Lockwood
“words that dumb things depend on us to say—because when a dog runs to you and nudges against your hand for love and you say automatically, I know, I know, what else are you talking about except the world?”
Patricia Lockwood, No One Is Talking About This

Sacha Scoblic / Zimmerman
“I mistook my free fall for freedom.”
Sacha Z. Scoblic, Unwasted: My Lush Sobriety

L.M. Montgomery
“her most serious shortcoming seemed to be a tendency to fall into daydreams in the middle of a task and forget all about it until such time as she was sharply recalled to earth by a reprimand or a catastrophe.”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
