E.M. Forster
“We know that we come from the winds, and that we shall return to them; that all life is perhaps a knot, a tangle, a blemish in the eternal smoothness. But why should this make us unhappy? Let us love one another, and work and rejoice. I don't believe in this world sorrow.”
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

Junot Díaz
“In a better world I would have kissed her over the ice trays and that would have been the end of all our troubles. But you know exactly what kind of world we live in. It ain't no fucking Middle-earth. I just nodded my head, said, See you around, Lola, and drove home.”
Junot Díaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

“Here at last is her smile: burn it into your memory; you won't see it often.”
Junot Díaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“If you’re telling a non-black person about something racist that happened to you, make sure you are not bitter. Don’t complain. Be forgiving. If possible, make it funny. Most of all, do not be angry. Black people are not supposed to be angry about racism. Otherwise you get no sympathy. This applies only for white liberals, by the way. Don’t even bother telling a white conservative about anything racist that happened to you. Because the conservative will tell you that YOU are the real racist and your mouth will hang open in confusion.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah

E.M. Forster
“Of course he despised the world as a whole; every thoughtful man should; it is almost a test of refinement.”
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View
