Raymond Carver
“It is August.
My life is going to change. I feel it.”
Raymond Carver, Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?

Mary McCarthy
“She decided she wanted a cool, starchy independent life, with ruffles of humor like window curtains.”
Mary McCarthy, The Group

Zadie Smith
“It seems to me," said Magid finally, as the moon became clearer than the sun, "that you have tried to love a man as if he were an island and you were shipwrecked and you could mark the land with an X. It seems to me it is too late in the day for all that.”
Zadie Smith, White Teeth

Alice Hoffman
“Evan's head was filled with the sound of water. He thought of the ghost in the grass, her blue dress and bare feet. He thought of the way the doves had flown up into the sky all in a rush, startled by gunfire, and then all he could think was that despite everything that happened, he was alive.”
Alice Hoffman, The Red Garden

Jeanette Winterson
“People do go back, but they don't survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time. Such things are too much. You can salt your heart, or kill your heart, or you can choose between the two realities. There is much pain here.”
Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
