John Updike
“He lay on his back like a town suspended from a steeple. He”
John Updike, Couples

John Updike
“Janet was a woman in whom early beauty had bred high expectations. Their disappointment brought with it a soured idealism, an idealism capable only of finding the world faulty.”
John Updike, Couples

John Updike
“In her rare moods of liberation she held for him the danger that she would disclose great riches within herself, showing him the depths of loss frozen over by their marriage.”
John Updike, Couples

John Updike
“They had been drinking. In the society of Tarbox there was no invitation more flattering than to share, like this, another couple’s intimacy, to partake in their humorous déshabille, their open quarrels and implicit griefs.”
John Updike, Couples

James E. Lovelock
“The environmental system of the Earth would collapse if the attempt were made to supply all human beings alive today with a European style of living. To suggest that such an increase in living standards is possible for a world population twice the present size by the early part of the next century is preposterous.”
James E. Lovelock, The Revenge of Gaia: Earth's Climate Crisis & The Fate of Humanity
