Alice Childress
“Life is just a short walk from the cradle to the grave, and it sure behooves us to be kind to one another along the way.”
Alice Childress

Brian Moore
“Love isn't an act, it's a whole life.”
Brian Moore

William Saroyan
“When you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”
William Saroyan

George Saunders
“That luminous part of you that exists beyond personality–your soul, if you will–is as bright and shining as any that has ever been....Clear away everything that keeps you separate from this secret luminous place. Believe it exists, come to know it better, nurture it, share its fruits tirelessly.”
George Saunders

Sarah Addison Allen
“She finally understood that, no matter how hard you try, you can't make someone love you. You can't stop them from making the wrong decision. There's no magic for that.”
Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost
