Meredith Gran
“The things you get excited for the fastest are the things that get boring the fastest. Anything that ever meant a damn took a while.”
Meredith Gran, There Are No Stars in Brooklyn

Thomas Pynchon
“A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now.”
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“It is with considerable difficulty that I remember the original era of my being; all the events of that period appear confused and indistinct. A strange multiplicity of sensations seized me, and I saw, felt, heard, and smelt at the same time; and it was, indeed, a long time before I learned to distinguish between the operations of my various senses.”
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein

Kaveh Akbar
“Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That’s the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing. That belief corrupts everything, has everyone with any power sitting on their hands.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Barbara Kingsolver
“If chained is where you have been, your arms will always bear marks of the shackles. What you have to lose is your story, your own slant. You'll look at the scars on your arms and see mere ugliness, or you'll take great care to look away from them and see nothing. Either way, you have no words for the story of where you came from.”
Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible
