Joseph Conrad
“Let them think what they liked, but I didn't mean to drown myself. I meant to swim till I sank -- but that's not the same thing.”
Joseph Conrad, The Secret Sharer and other stories

Jenny Offill
“My plan was to never get married. I was going to be an art monster instead. Women almost never become art monsters because art monsters only concern themselves with art, never mundane things. Nabokov didn't even fold his own umbrella. Vera licked his stamps for him.”
Jenny Offill, Dept. of Speculation

Anne Carson
“I will not stop singing
the Muses who set me dancing.”
Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides

Leslie Jamison
“Empathy requires knowing that you know nothing.”
Leslie Jamison, The Empathy Exams
