Paul Murray
“So many of the bad things that happen in the world come from people pretending to be something they’re not.”
Paul Murray, The Bee Sting

Patrick deWitt
“do you know what a cliché is? It’s a story so fine and thrilling that it’s grown old in its hopeful retelling.”
Patrick deWitt, French Exit

David Grann
“To “toe the line” derives from when boys on a ship were forced to stand still for inspection with their toes on a deck seam. To “pipe down” was the boatswain’s whistle for everyone to be quiet at night, and “piping hot” was his call for meals. A “scuttlebutt” was a water cask around which the seamen gossiped while waiting for their rations. A ship was “three sheets to the wind” when the lines to the sails broke and the vessel pitched drunkenly out of control. To “turn a blind eye” became a popular expression after Vice-Admiral Nelson deliberately placed his telescope against his blind eye to ignore his superior’s signal flag to retreat.”
David Grann, The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder

“It’s not that I’m unaware of the suffering and the soon-to-be-more suffering in the world, it’s that I know the suffering exists beside wet grass and a bright blue sky recently scrubbed by rain. The beauty and the suffering are equally true.”
Ann Patchett, Tom Lake

Cormac McCarthy
“He knew that our enemies by contrast seem always with us. The greater our hatred the more persistent the memory of them so that a truly terrible enemy becomes deathless. So that the man who has done you great injury or injustice makes himself a guest in your house forever. Perhaps only forgiveness can dislodge him.”
Cormac McCarthy, Cities of the Plain
