Jeanette Winterson
“The unknownness of my needs frightens me. I do not know how huge they are, or how high they are, I only know that they are not being met.”
Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

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

Annie Dillard
“Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water.”
Annie Dillard

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

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