Susan Sontag
“Time exists in order that everything doesn’t happen all at once…and space exists so that it doesn’t all happen to you.”
Susan Sontag, At the Same Time: Essays and Speeches

Stephen  King
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Georges Perec
“It is on a day like this one, a little later, a little earlier, that you discover, without surprise, that something is wrong, that, without mincing words, you don't know how to live, that you will never know."

-from "A Man Asleep”
Georges Perec, Things: A Story of the Sixties / A Man Asleep

Chloe Aridjis
“There are two kinds of romantics, my older cousin had explained, the kind who is constantly falling in love and simply needs a person into whom they can pour every thought, dream, and project, and the kind of romantic who remains alone, waiting and waiting for the right person to arrive, a person who may not even exist. It was too early to know which kind I would be.”
Chloe Aridjis, Sea Monsters

Joan Didion
“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
Joan Didion, The White Album
