Gabrielle Zevin
“There are no ghosts, but up here”—she gestured toward her head—“it’s a haunted house.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Gabrielle Zevin
“He was happiest when he did not have to think about his body--when he could forget that he had a body at all.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Russell H. Greenan
“If you think, then you are. And if you stop thinking, only for a hundredth of a second, then you aren't. You don't exist. You're gone. You're annihilated, at least until your brain starts working again, which you can't be sure it will do. I wish I could describe what it's like. I can't, though. Words are. . .just words. They're ideas, words, not feelings. You can have the word 'fear' in your mind, but that doesn't mean you're afraid, does it? Terror, panic - they don't come close to the reality. True terror is huge. It's a gigantic world - one that very few people know about. Most human beings are like those fish. They believe the world is the size of an aquarium. They don't know what's outside their own little fishbowl. . .but I know. Maybe it's just as well that I can't give a good description. . .because if I could - if I could paint a clear picture of nonexistence for you - well, for the rest of your life you might keep thinking about it. You might not think of anything else.”
Russell H. Greenan, Heart of Gold

Gabrielle Zevin
“But the reason she was bourgeois was so she could make work that wasn’t bourgeois. If she were cautious in her life, she could avoid compromising in her work.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Donald Antrim
“As I grow longer in the tooth, I find myself shaking off for greater and greater stretches of time, and I always use this time to fret morosely about my health in general, and about the likelihood that a grave illness, conceivably located in the bladder region, will overtake me in the future, maybe imminently. In this way a pleasurable, natural act becomes the catalyst for somber reflections and an unnatural, incipient depression. So much of life follows this pattern exactly, I think, We begin to lose ourselves in a joyful or gratifying act - it can be a creature comfort or something complicatedly emotional like stimulating conversation or the solitary immersion in a poem, a beautiful landscape, or a work of art - and we forget, in the moment of serenity, all the pain and trouble of life. Until, quite suddenly, and as a rule, shockingly, this very forgetfulness, our fleeting holiday from care, becomes nothing more than another occasion to remember how truly infrequently happiness comes to us, and how likely we are to die in some hortible way. Then, disgusted with ourselves over our inability to enjoy life, we halt the pleasurable activity and move on, as speedily as we can, to other business.”
Donald Antrim, The Hundred Brothers
