Omar El Akkad
“It seemed sensible to crave safety, to crave shelter from the bombs and the Birds and the daily depravity of war. But somewhere deep in her mind an idea had begun to fester-perhaps the longing for safety was itself just another kind of violence-a violence of cowardice, silence, submission. What was safety, anyway, but the sound of a bomb falling on someone else's home?”
Omar El Akkad, American War

Adam Haslett
“That’s what Proust calls it. On those rare occasions when the miracle of an analogy had made me escape from the present. That’s the only real life, the only thing that makes you know you’re alive - the backward ache. That’s what music is.”
Adam Haslett, Imagine Me Gone

Saul Bellow
“I want to tell you, don't marry suffering. Some people do. They get married to it, and sleep and eat together, just as husband and wife. If they go with joy they think it's adultery.”
Saul Bellow, Seize the Day

Rachel Maddow
“Clearly, there has been a lack of imagination about how much can go wrong.”
Rachel Maddow

David James Duncan
“Your strange!” she gushed. (She meant “You’re,” but Peter felt absolutely certain that she was one of those people who spell it “Your.”)”
David James Duncan, The Brothers K
