Ken  Wheaton
“Prideful fool. It hurt his feelings that he couldn’t make my crazy go away. You know how men are. Always trying to fix things can’t be fixed.”
Ken Wheaton, Sweet as Cane, Salty as Tears

Ken  Wheaton
“In Louisiana, one of the first stages of grief is eating your weight in Popeyes fried chicken. The second stage is doing the same with boudin. People have been known to swap the order. Or to do both at the same time.”
Ken Wheaton, Sweet as Cane, Salty as Tears

Ken  Wheaton
“I climbed aboard a Greyhound bus and rode it to New York without telling anyone, without so much as a goodbye. What was I thinking? I wasn’t. I was young and stupid and broken. I knew from watching movies that broken people hopped on buses and disappeared. New York seemed far away, geographically, mentally.”
Ken Wheaton, Sweet as Cane, Salty as Tears

Barbara Pym
“If only one could clear out one's mind and heart as ruthlessly as one did one's wardrobe.”
Barbara Pym, Some Tame Gazelle

Anita Desai
“Isn't it strange how life won't flow, like a river, but moves in jumps, as if it were held back by locks that are opened now and then to let it jump forwards in a kind of flood?”
Anita Desai
