Jennifer Egan
“I think, The world is actually huge. That's the part no one can really explain.”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

Margaret Atwood
“Falling in love, we said; I fell for him. We were falling women. We believed in it, this downward motion: so lovely, like flying, and yet at the same time so dire, so extreme, so unlikely. God is love, they once said, but we reversed that, and love, like heaven, was always just around the corner. The more difficult it was to love the particular man beside us, the more we believed in Love, abstract and total. We were waiting, always, for the incarnation. That word, made flesh.

And sometimes it happened, for a time. That kind of love comes and goes and is hard to remember afterwards, like pain. You would look at the man one day and you would think, I loved you, and the tense would be past, and you would be filled with a sense of wonder, because it was such an amazing and precarious and dumb thing to have done; and you would know too why your friends had been evasive about it, at the time.

There is a good deal of comfort, now, in remembering this.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

Gavriel Savit
“Men who try to understand the world without the help of children are like men who try to bake bread without the help of yeast.”
Gavriel Savit, Anna and the Swallow Man

Jenny  Lawson
“There will be moments when you have to be a grown-up. Those moments are tricks. Do not fall for them.”
Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
