Robert K. Merton
“Anticipatory plagiarism occurs when someone steals your original idea and publishes it a hundred years before you were born.”
Robert Merton

Rachel Joyce
“He had learned that it was the smallness of people that filled him with wonder and tenderness, and the loneliness of that too. The world was made up of people putting one foot in front of the other; and a life might appear ordinary simply because the person living it had been doing it for a long time. Harold could no longer pass a stranger without acknowledging the truth that everyone was the same, and also unique; and that this was the dilemma of being human.”
Rachel Joyce, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

James Baldwin
“Perhaps everybody has a garden of Eden, I don't know; but they have scarcely seen their garden before they see the flaming sword. Then, perhaps, life only offers the choice of remembering the garden or forgetting it. Either, or: it takes strength to remember, it takes another kind of strength to forget, it takes a hero to do both.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Rachel Joyce
“He wished the man would honor the true meaning of words, instead of using them as ammunition.”
Rachel Joyce, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

Jenny Offill
“Whenever the wife wants to do drugs, she thinks about Sartre. One bad trip and then a giant lobster followed him around for the rest of his days.”
Jenny Offill, Dept. of Speculation
