Book cover for Chains of Sand
She smiles. Unlike my father, she does not want to quash my disobedience. Disobedience, she tells me, is the beginning of free thought.

James Joyce
“Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.”
James Joyce, The Dead

James Joyce
“He watched sleepily the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight. The time had come for him to set out on his journey westward. Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.”
James Joyce, The Dead (A Novella)

Raymond Chandler
“She was a tall, seedy, sad-eyed blonde who had once been a policewoman and had lost her job when she married a cheap little check bouncer named Johnny Horne, to reform him. She hadn’t reformed him, but she was waiting for him to come out so she could try again.”
Raymond Chandler, Trouble Is My Business

Raymond Chandler
“I called him up from a phone booth. The voice that answered was fat. It wheezed softly, like the voice of a man who had just won a pie-eating contest.”
Raymond Chandler, Trouble Is My Business

Joseph Heller
“While none of the work we do is very important, it is important that we do a great deal of it.”
Joseph Heller, Catch-22
