Herman Melville
“I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Harper Lee
“With him, life was routine; without him, life was unbearable.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“Being in love with someone is like daytime. You know there are other stars our there someplace, but you can only see the sun.”
Henry Melville

Philip Roth
“You go to someone and you think, 'I’ll tell him this.' But why? The impulse is that the telling is going to relieve you. And that’s why you feel awful later—you’ve relieved yourself, and if it truly is tragic and awful, it’s not better, it’s worse—the exhibitionism inherent to a confession has only made the misery worse.”
Philip Roth, American Pastoral

Jim Harrison
“Suits obviously had helped to promote bad government and he was as guilty as anyone for wearing them so steadfastly for twenty years. Of late he had become frightened of the government for the first time in his life, the way the structure of democracy had begun debasing people rather than enlivening them in their mutual concern. The structure was no longer concerned with the purpose for which it was designed, and a small part of the cause, Nordstrom thought, was probably that all politicians and bureaucrats wore suits.”
Jim Harrison, Legends of the Fall
