Chinua Achebe
“When a man blasphemes, what do we do? Do we go and stop his mouth? No. We put our fingers into our ears to stop us hearing. This is a wise action.”
Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart

Lily King
“I've forgotten what gets revealed right after you break up with someone.”
Lily King, Writers & Lovers

John Kennedy Toole
“However the simple fact that they have been resounding failures in our century does give them a certain spiritual quality. For all we know, they may be-these crushed wretches-the saints of our age.”
John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces

Lily King
“I squat there and think about how you get trained early on as a woman to perceive how others are perceiving you, at the great expense of what you yourself are feeling about them. Sometimes you mix the two up in a terrible tangle that’s hard to unravel.”
Lily King, Writers & Lovers

Lily King
“The hardest thing about writing is getting in every day, breaking through the membrane.The second-hardest thing is getting out. Sometimes I sink down too deep and come up too fast. Afterward I feel wide open and skinless. The whole world feels moist and pliable.”
Lily King, Writers & Lovers
