Shirley Jackson
“Fear and guilt are sisters;”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

Umberto Eco
“Vrijheid', 'dictatuur', mijn god, ik las die woorden op dat moment voor de eerste keer in mijn leven. Dankzij de nieuwe woorden werd ik als vrij, westers mens geboren.

We moeten ervoor oppassen dat de betekenis van die woorden niet opnieuw vergeten wordt.”
Umberto Eco, Hoe herken ik een fascist

James Baldwin
“I guess it can’t be too often that two people can laugh and make love, too, make love because they are laughing, laugh because they’re making love. The love and the laughter come from the same place: but not many people go there”
James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk

James Baldwin
“One of the most terrible, most mysterious things about a life is that a warning can be heeded only in retrospect: too late.”
James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk

Cormac McCarthy
“His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West
