Jenny Offill
“There is still such crookedness in my heart. I had thought loving two people so much would straighten it.”
Jenny Offill, Dept. of Speculation

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Do not assume that he who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, he would never have been able to find these words.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Raymond Queneau
“True stories deal with hunger, imaginary ones with love.”
Raymond Queneau

Stephen  King
“A friend came to visit James Joyce one day and found the great man sprawled across his writing desk in a posture of utter despair.

James, what’s wrong?' the friend asked. 'Is it the work?'

Joyce indicated assent without even raising his head to look at his friend. Of course it was the work; isn’t it always?

How many words did you get today?' the friend pursued.

Joyce (still in despair, still sprawled facedown on his desk): 'Seven.'

Seven? But James… that’s good, at least for you.'

Yes,' Joyce said, finally looking up. 'I suppose it is… but I don’t know what order they go in!”
Stephen King

T.S. Eliot
“Humankind cannot bear very much reality.”
T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets
