Jonathan  Dee
“The rain made for an odd effect forty floors up, because you didn't get to see it hit anything on the way down, it was just a kind of static in the gray air.”
Jonathan Dee, The Privileges

Voltaire
“He showed, in a few words, that it is not sufficient to throw together a few incidents that are to be met with in every romance, and that to dazzle the spectator the thought should be new, without being farfetched; frequently sublime, but always natural; the author should have a thorough knowledge of the human heart and make it speak properly; he should be a complete poet, without showing an affectation of it in any of the characters of his piece; he should be a perfect master of his language, speak it with all its pruity and with the utmost harmony, and yet so as not to make the sense a slave to the rhyme. Whoever, added he, neglects any one of these rules, though he may write two or three tragedies with tolerable success, will never be reckoned in the number of good authors.”
Voltaire, Candide

Jennifer Egan
“skin-that smooth plump sweetly fragrant sac upon which life scrawls the record of our failures and exhaustion”
Jennifer Egan

Colson Whitehead
“We never see other people anyway, only the monsters we make of them.”
Colson Whitehead, Zone One

Blaise Pascal
“I see the terrifying spaces of the universe that enclose me, and I find myself attached to a corner of this vast expanse, without knowing why I am more in this place than in another, nor why this little time that is given me to live is assigned me at this point more than another out of all the eternity that has preceded me and out of all that will follow me.”
Blaise Pascal, Thoughts, Letters and Minor Works
