Vladimir Nabokov
“Curiously enough, one cannot read a book; one can only reread it. A good reader, a major reader, and active and creative reader is a rereader.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Literature

Samuel Beckett
“[A]ll I want to do is sit on my ass and fart and think of Dante.”
Samuel Beckett

Vladimir Nabokov
“Readers are not sheep, and not every pen tempts them.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Literature

A.S. Byatt
“They took to silence. They touched each other without comment and without progression. A hand on a hand, a clothed arm, resting on an arm. An ankle overlapping an ankle, as they sat on a beach, and not removed. One night they fell asleep, side by side... He slept curled against her back, a dark comma against her pale elegant phrase.”
A.S. Byatt, Possession

James Joyce
“I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.”
James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
