“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
Anonymous, Holy Bible: New International Version

Marguerite Duras
“When it's in a book I don't think it'll hurt any more ...exist any more. One of the things writing does is wipe things out. Replace them.”
Marguerite Duras, The Lover

Flannery O'Connor
“There is something in us, as storytellers and as listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored. The reader of today looks for this motion, and rightly so, but what he has forgotten is the cost of it. His sense of evil is diluted or lacking altogether, and so he has forgotten the price of restoration. When he reads a novel, he wants either his sense tormented or his spirits raised. He wants to be transported, instantly, either to mock damnation or a mock innocence.”
Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose

Lord Byron
“If I do not write to empty my mind, I go mad.”
George Gordon Byron

Roland Barthes
“I am interested in language because it wounds or seduces me.”
Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text
