Elif Batuman
“In fact I had no such interest, but I knew it was wrong to do things just because other people did. Other people couldn't be the reason why you did anything.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Denis Johnson
“The only painter I admire is God. He’s my biggest influence.”
Denis Johnson, The Largesse of the Sea Maiden

“It doesn’t matter. The world keeps turning. It’s plain to you that at the time I write this, I’m not dead. But maybe by the time you read it.”
Denis Johnson, The Largesse of the Sea Maiden

“Because it referred, really, to nothing at all, and yet it was actually very moving.”
Denis Johnson, The Largesse of the Sea Maiden

Denis Johnson
“I wonder if you’re like me, if you collect and squirrel away in your soul certain odd moments when the Mystery winks at you, when you walk in your bathrobe and tasselled loafers, for instance, well out of your neighborhood and among a lot of closed shops, and you approach your very faint reflection in a window with words above it. The sign said “Sky and Celery.” Closer, it read “Ski and Cyclery.”
Denis Johnson, The Largesse of the Sea Maiden
