Jim Harrison
“Goddamn but her mind was so exhausted with trying to hold the world together, tired of being the living glue for herself, as if she let go, great pieces of her life would shatter and fall off in mockery of the apocalypse.”
Jim Harrison, The Woman Lit By Fireflies

Maggie Nelson
“I can remember a time when I took Henry James's advice--'try to be one of the people on whom nothing is lost!'--deeply to heart. I think I was then imagining that the net effect of becoming one of those people would be one of accretion. Whereas if you truly become someone on whom nothing is lost, then loss will not be lost upon you, either.”
Maggie Nelson, Bluets

Claire Vaye Watkins
“You don't love people," he said. "You love what they do to you.”
Claire Vaye Watkins, Battleborn

Jenny Offill
“In those last weeks, we drove without talking, trying to outride the heat, each alone in the dream the city had become. I was afraid to speak, to touch his arm even.”
Jenny Offill, Dept. of Speculation

Samuel R. Delany
“I wanted to get out, Vyme, to keep going and not be trapped, to be free.... only I was cruel. I had the chance to do it, and I took it. Why is that bad, Vyme? Unless, of course, that's what being free means.”
Samuel R. Delany, Aye, and Gomorrah
