Michelle Huneven
“Funny how the days you weep, you can also have the fullest, deepest laughs.”
Michelle Huneven, Bug Hollow

Evan Osnos
“Alfani notes a pattern that unfolds “repeatedly and systematically across history”: when economic elites become ingrown, impenetrable, and “insensitive to the plight of the masses,” societies tend to become unstable.”
Evan Osnos, The Haves and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ultrarich

David Szalay
“And all that burgeoning physicality is held within yourself as a sort of secret, even as it is also the actual surface that you present to the world, so that you’re left absurdly exposed, unsure whether the world knows everything about you or nothing, because you have no way of knowing whether these experiences that you’re having are universal or entirely specific”
David Szalay, Flesh

Evan Osnos
“Approximately 117 million people earned, on average, the same income that they did in 1980, while the typical income for the top one percent had nearly tripled.”
Evan Osnos, The Haves and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ultrarich

Niall Williams
“Wives create their husbands. They begin with that rough raw material, that blundering, well-meaning and handsome youthfulness they have fallen in love with, and then commence the forty years of unstinting labour it takes to make the man with whom they can live.”
Niall Williams, Four Letters of Love: A Novel
