Karen Maitland
“They all wait impatiently for the blessed cloak of darkness to cover their wretched little deeds, but the sun will not be hurried by the whims of men.”
Karen Maitland, The Gallows Curse

Sloane Crosley
“In stressful situations, people often talk about a fight-or-flight response. Which, in my opinion, doesn’t give enough credit to the more common reaction of curling up into a little ball. […] For once, I made the decision to play it cool. Or stupid. Whichever came first.

-“Le Paris!” in How Did You Get This Number, by Sloane Crosley (2010), P. 219-220”

Jeffrey Eugenides
“But who knew what would happen once he got to Canada? Canada with its pacifism and its socialized medicine! Canada with its millions of French speakers! It was like…like…like a foreign country! Father Mike might become a fugitive over there, living it up in Quebec. He might disappear into Saskatchewan and roam with the moose.

-Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides (2003), P. 507”
