Thomas Mann
“Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.”
Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales

Roberto Bolaño
“The truth is we never stop being children, terrible children covered in sores and knotty veins and tumors and age spots, but ultimately children, in other words we never stop clinging to life because we are life.”
Roberto Bolaño, 2666

China Miéville
“Books are always obviously having conversations with other books, and some times they're amiable and sometimes not.”
China Miéville, The City & the City

Joyce Carol Oates
“Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily,often helplessly, into another's skin, another's voice, another's soul"-- Joyce Carole Oates”
Joyce Carole Oates

Eliza Griswold
