Vladimir Nabokov
“And the rest is rust and stardust.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Don DeLillo
“California deserves whatever it gets. Californians invented the concept of life-style. This alone warrants their doom.”
Don DeLillo, White Noise

John Updike
“If you have the guts to be yourself, other people'll pay your price.”
John Updike, Rabbit, Run

William Faulkner
“...I would think how words go straight up in a thin line, quick and harmless, and how terribly doing goes along the earth, clinging to it, so that after a while the two lines are too far apart for the same person to straddle from one to the other; and that sin and love and fear are just sounds that people who never sinned nor loved nor feared have for what they never had and cannot have until they forget the words.”
William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying

David Foster Wallace
“The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest
