Neil Gaiman
“The house smelled musty and damp, and a little sweet, as if it were haunted by the ghosts of long-dead cookies.”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods

John  Williams
“He felt at times that he was a kind of vegetable, and he longed for something—even pain—to pierce him, to bring him alive.”
John Williams, Stoner

Kazuo Ishiguro
“I do not think I responded immediately, for it took me a moment or two to fully digest these words of Miss Kenton. Moreover, as you might appreciate, their implications were such as to provoke a certain degree of sorrow within me. Indeed- why should I not admit it? - at that moment, my heart was breaking.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Daniel Kahneman
“It is only a slight exaggeration to say that happiness is the experience of spending time with people you love and who love you.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Kazuo Ishiguro
“They wear their professionalism as a decent gentleman will wear his suit: he will not let ruffians or circumstance tear it off him in the public gaze; he will discard it when, and only when, he wills to do so, and this will invariably be when he is entirely alone. It is, as I say, a matter of 'dignity'.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day
