“Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.

Now, women forget all those things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

“Love is lak de sea. It’s uh movin’ thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it’s different with every shore.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

“In youth there are always two forces fighting in people. The warm unthinking little animal struggles against the thing that reflects and remembers”
― Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio

“I wanted to run away from everything but I wanted to run towards something too. Don't you see, dear, how it was?”
― Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio
