William Shakespeare
“Let me be that I am and seek not to alter me.”
William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

Benjamin Alire Sáenz
“It was good to laugh. I wanted to laugh and laugh and laugh until I laughed myself into becoming someone else.”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Donna Tartt
“Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Ocean Vuong
“Stars. Or rather, the drains of heaven – waiting. Little holes. Little centuries opening just enough for us to slip through.”
Ocean Vuong, Night Sky with Exit Wounds

Richard Siken
“Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, “I am falling to the floor crying,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn’t paint it very well.”
Richard Siken
