Anthony  Powell
“Barnby always dismissed the idea of intelligence in a woman as no more than a characteristic to be endured.”
Anthony Powell, A Dance to the Music of Time: 2nd Movement

Anthony  Powell
“Daydreams of wealth or women must have given Carolo that faraway look which never left him; sad and silent, he contemplated huge bank balances and voluptuous revels.”
Anthony Powell, A Dance to the Music of Time: 2nd Movement

Guy de Maupassant
“I have an immoderate passion for water; for the sea, though so vast, so restless, so beyond one's comprehension; for rivers, beautiful, yet fugitive and elusive; but especially for marshes, teeming with all that mysterious life of the creatures that haunt them. A marsh is a whole world within a world, a different world, with a life of its own, with its own permanent denizens, its passing visitors, its voices, its sounds, its own strange mystery.”
Guy de Maupassant, The House of Madame Tellier and Other Stories

Peter Stamm
“Never will I succeed in putting as much strength in a portrait as there is in a head. The mere fact of living demands such willpower and energy … ALBERTO GIACOMETTI”
Peter Stamm, All Days Are Night

Sarah Addison Allen
“I was just telling Claire about a guy I met in bread class. I hate him, but he could be my soul mate.”
Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost
