Kate Mosse
“The colour of the magpie, her father was saying, was symbolic of creation. The void, the mystery of that which had not yet taken form. Black and white, he said. Presence and absence.”
Kate Mosse, The Taxidermist's Daughter

“Isn't that what everyone wants, just for a moment to be unencumbered?”
Ann Patchett, Commonwealth

“Did you ever want to be a writer?” “No,” she said, and she would have told him. “I only wanted to be a reader.”
Ann Patchett, Commonwealth

Chinua Achebe
“A snake was never called by its name at night, because it would hear. It was called a string.”
Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart

Neil Hilborn
“Hope is a thing I drag out of storage
when I am done thinking; hope answers
my phone; hope breaks my furniture
and helps me rebuild before the next
party; hope turns into more hope
unless it does not in which case
it turns into more or less less
than what I had hoped for; hope
sinks; hope drinks with me and against
me; hope is my ride home; hope is
asleep, I'm asleep, dear god, I can't
stop sleeping.”
Neil Hilborn, Our Numbered Days
