James Baldwin
“Perhaps he is a fool or a coward but almost everybody is one or the other and most people are both.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

John Steinbeck
“I always found in myself a dread of west and love of east. Where I ever got such an idea I cannot say, unless it could be that morning came over the peaks of the Gabilans and the night drifted back from the ridges of the Santa Lucias. It may be that the birth and death of the day had some part in my feeling about the two ranges of mountains.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Olga Tokarczuk
“The best conversations are with yourself. At least there's no risk of a misunderstanding.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

George Eliot
“What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known?”
George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss

Emily Dickinson
“It is also November. The noons are more laconic and the sunsets sterner, and Gibraltar lights make the village foreign. November always seemed to me the Norway of the year. ------ is still with the sister who put her child in an ice nest last Monday forenoon. The redoubtable God! I notice where Death has been introduced, he frequently calls, making it desirable to forestall his advances.”
Emily Dickinson, Lettere 1845-1886
