Richard Ford
“Though possibly it–the answer–is simple: it is just low-life, some coldness in us all, some helplessness that causes us to misunderstand life when it is pure and plain, makes our existence seem like a border between two nothings, and makes us no more or less than animals who meet on the road-watchful, unforgiving, without patience or desire.”
Richard Ford, Rock Springs

Wallace Stegner
“She had rooms in her mind that she would not look into.”
Wallace Stegner, Angle of Repose

Jim Harrison
“I did not want to live out my life in the strennous effort to hold a ghost world together. It was plain as the stars that time herself moved in grand tidal sweeps rather than the tic-tocks we suffocate within, and that I must reshape myself to fully inhabit the earth rather than dawdle in the sump of my foilbles...”
Jim Harrison, Julip

Seamus Heaney
“The main thing is to write
for the joy of it. Cultivate a work-lust
that imagines its haven like your hands at night
dreaming the sun in the sunspot of a breast.
You are fasted now, light-headed, dangerous.
Take off from here.”
Seamus Heaney, Station Island

Jim Harrison
“How wonderful it was to love something without the compromise of language.”
Jim Harrison, The River Swimmer: Novellas
