Aldous Huxley
“It was the sort of idea that might easily decondition the more unsettled minds among the higher castes—make them lose their faith in happiness as the Sovereign Good and take to believing, instead, that the goal was somewhere beyond, somewhere outside the present human sphere, that the purpose of life was not the maintenance of well-being, but some intensification and refining of consciousness, some enlargement of knowledge.”
Huxley, Aldous, Brave New World

Mindy McGinnis
“Define success," I say almost to myself.
"I didn't kill someone today," Alex says.
I laugh again. "A-plus babe.”
Mindy McGinnis, The Female of the Species

Julie   Murphy
“I don't like to think of my hips as a nuisance, but more of an asset. I mean, if this were, like, 1642, my wide birthing hips would be worth many cows or something.”
Julie Murphy, Dumplin'

William Faulkner
“Literature has the same impact as a match lit in the middle of a field in the middle of the night. The match illuminates relatively little, but it enables us to see how much darkness surrounds it.”
William Faulkner

Erika L. Sánchez
“There is no heaven. There is only earth, sky, and the transfer of energy. The idea would almost be beautiful if it weren't such a nightmare.”
Erika L. Sánchez, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
