William Makepeace Thackeray
“Be cautious then, young ladies; be wary how you engage. Be shy of loving frankly; never tell all you feel, or (a better way still), feel very little. See the consequences of being prematurely honest and confiding, and mistrust yourselves and everybody. Get yourselves married as they do in France, where the lawyers are the bridesmaids and confidantes. At any rate, never have any feelings which may make you uncomfortable, or make any promises which you cannot at any required moment command and withdraw. That is the way to get on, and be respected, and have a virtuous character in Vanity Fair.”
William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair

Imre Kertész
“I believe in writing — nothing else; just writing. Man may live like a worm, but he writes like a god. There was a time when that secret was known, but now it has been forgotten; the world is composed of disintegrating fragments, an incoherent dark chaos, sustained by writing alone.”
Imre Kertész, Liquidation

Henrik Ibsen
“But no man would sacrifice his honor for the one he loves."

"It is a thing hundreds of thousands of women have done.”
Henrik Ibsen, A Doll's House

Alice Walker
“Anyhow, I say, the God I been praying and writing to is a man. And act just like all the other mens I know. Trifling, forgitful, and lowdown.”
Alice Walker, The Color Purple

William Makepeace Thackeray
“Are not there little chapters in everybody’s life, that seem to be nothing, and yet affect all the rest of the history?”
William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair
