Saul Bellow
“One thought-murder a day keeps the psychiatrist away.”
Saul Bellow, Herzog

Dan    Brown
“Historically, the most dangerous men on earth were men of God…especially when their gods became threatened.”
Dan Brown, Origin

Frances de Pontes Peebles
“Fame is longing. Not yours, but the audience’s. A star is nothing more, nothing less, than the public face of private desire.”
Frances de Pontes Peebles, The Air You Breathe

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is. Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I've said before, bugs in amber.
Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe.
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.
Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.
Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter could be said to remedy anything.
Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information.
Our awareness is all that is alive and maybe sacred in any of us. Everything else about us is dead machinery.”
Kurt Vonnegut jr.

Honoré de Balzac
“Some day you will find out that there is far more happiness in another's happiness than in your own.”
Honoré de Balzac, Père Goriot
