"I’m actually enjoying this except the audio guy has an incredibly annoying voice. Tried to buy a paperback but it had an embarrassing cover based on the alleged movie and now I feel off-put. LOL. Will revisit!!" Dec 20, 2024 09:10AM

Ian McEwan
“...falling in love could be achieved in a single word—a glance.”
Ian McEwan, Atonement

Donna Tartt
“There is nothing wrong with the love of Beauty. But Beauty - unless she is wed to something more meaningful - is always superficial.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Joan Didion
“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
Joan Didion, The White Album

Donna Tartt

Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Joan Didion
“Character — the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life — is the source from which self-respect springs.”
Joan Didion, On Self-Respect
