Book cover for Sharp Objects
The Victorians, especially southern Victorians, needed a lot of room to stray away from each other, to duck tuberculosis and flu, to avoid rapacious lust, to wall themselves away from sticky emotions. Extra space is always good.

J.D. Salinger
“Why are you breaking down, incidentally? I mean if you’re able to go into a collapse with all your might, why can’t you use the same energy to stay well and busy?”
J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

“I have so much I want to tell you, and nowhere to begin.”
J.D. Salinger, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters & Seymour: An Introduction

Maud Hart Lovelace
“She tried to act as though it were nothing to go to the library alone. But her happiness betrayed her. Her smile could not be restrained, and it spread from her tightly pressed mouth, to her round cheeks, almost to the hair ribbons tied in perky bows over her ears.”
Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown

“Betsy returned to her chair, took off her coat and hat, opened her book and forgot the world again.”

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Contentedly adrift in the cosmos. That is a perfect description of a non-epiphany, that rarest of moments, when God Almighty lets go of the scruff of your neck and lets you be human for a little while. How long did the feeling last?”
Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard
