Richard Wright
“I didn't know I was really alive in this world until I felt things hard enough to kill for 'em...”
Richard Wright, Native Son

Mikhail Bakhtin
“What is realized in the novel is the process of coming to know one's own language as it is perceived in someone else's language, coming to know one's own belief system in someone else's system.”
Mikhail Bakhtin, The Dialogic Imagination: Four Essays

Steven Pinker
“Fiction is empathy technology.”
Steven Pinker

Brian K. Vaughan
“Some parents let their young kids win at games, but mine never did.

I don't think it was because they were particularly competitive, they just wanted to teach me a valuable lesson.

Life is mostly just learning how to lose.”
Brian K. Vaughan, Saga, Volume 3

James M. Cain
“We’re just two punks, Frank. God kissed us on the brow that night. He gave us all that two people can ever have and we just weren’t the kind that could have it. [I]t’s a big airplane engine, that takes you through the sky, right up to the top of the mountain. But when you put it in a Ford, it just shakes it to pieces. That’s what we are, Frank, a couple of Fords.”
James M. Cain, The Postman Always Rings Twice
