Adam Kay
“But unfortunately the depth of the lows is the price you pay for the height of the highs.”
Adam Kay, This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor

Ocean Vuong
“How / does anyone / stop / regret / without cutting / off his hands?”
Ocean Vuong, Night Sky with Exit Wounds

Kate Elizabeth Russell
“I’m starting to understand that the longer you get away with something, the more reckless you become, until it’s almost as if you want to get caught.”
Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

Vladimir Nabokov
“The melacholy and the tenderness

of mortal life; the passion and the pain;

The claret tailight of that dwindling plane

Off Hesperus; your gesture dismay

On running out of cigarettes; the way

You smile at dogs; the trail of silver slime

Snails leave or flagstone; this good ink, this rhyme.

This index card, this slender rubber band

Which always forms, when dropped, an ampersand,

Are found in Heaven by the newlydead

Stored in its strongholds through the years.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire

Max Porter
“Which do you think is more patient, an idea or a hope?”
Max Porter, Lanny
