“If we, citizens, do not support our artists, then we sacrifice our imagination on the altar of crude reality and we end up believing in nothing and having worthless dreams.”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

Eve Babitz
“. . I wonder if I’ll ever be able to have what I like or if my tastes are too various to be sustained by one of anything.”
Eve Babitz, Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, the Flesh, and L.A.

Helen Macdonald
“We carry the lives we've imagined as we carry the lives we have, and sometimes a reckoning comes of all the lives we have lost.”
Helen Macdonald, H is for Hawk

Lucia Berlin
“Poor people wait a lot. Welfare, unemployment lines, laundromats, phone booths, emergency rooms, jails, etc.”
Lucia Berlin, A Manual for Cleaning Women: Selected Stories

Magda Szabó
“The roast meat the animal had snatched was only a semblance. It was more than food, it was a meal not for human witness, a tangle of viscera, a species of human sacrifice — as if Emerence were feeding the actual person to the dog, along with all her fond memories and feelings.”
Magda Szabó, The Door
