Judith Butler
“Possibility is not a luxury; it is as crucial as bread.”
Judith Butler, Undoing Gender

Jeffrey Eugenides
“Given the choice, a yeast cell's ideal state is to be diploid. But if it's in an environment with a lack of nutrients, you know what happens?
The diploids break into haploids again. Solitary little haploids. Because, in a crisis, it's easier to survive as a single cell.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot

Alice Munro
“The thing is to be happy,' he said. 'No matter what. Just try that. You can. It gets to be easier and easier. It's nothing to do with circumstances. You wouldn't believe how good it is. Accept everything and then tragedy disappears. Or tragedy lightens, anyway, you're just there, going along easy in the world.”
Alice Munro, Dear Life

Jeffrey Eugenides
“The worst part was that, as the years passed, these memories became, in the way you kept them in a secret box in your head, taking them out every so often to turn them over and over, something like dear possessions. They were the key to your unhappiness. They were the evidence that life wasn’t fair. If you weren’t a lucky child, you didn’t know you weren’t lucky until you got older. And then it was all you ever thought about.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot

Jeffrey Eugenides
“My goal in life is to become an adjective," Leonard said. "People would go around saying, 'That was so Bankheadian.' Or, 'A little too Bankheadian for my taste.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot
