Angela DeMott Angela DeMott said: " This may be my favorite book of the series, and it's definitely the one that I've read the most. There's this very intense, propulsive quality that the other books don't necessarily have, and from the O.W.L. chapter on, the plot feels inescapable, fo ...more "

Wallace Stegner
“I have heard of people's lives being changed by a dramatic or traumatic event--a death, a divorce, a winning lottery ticket, a failed exam. I never heard of anybody's life but ours being changed by a dinner party.”
Wallace Stegner, Crossing to Safety

“Drama demands the reversal of expectation, but in such a way that the first surprise is followed by an immediate recognition of inevitability. And inevitability takes careful pin-setting.”
Wallace Stegner, Crossing to Safety

“Henry James says somewhere that if you have to make notes on how a thing has struck you, it probably hasn’t struck you.”

“Talent lies around in us like kindling waiting for a match, but some people, just as gifted as others, are less lucky. Fate never drops a match on them.

We are lucky in our parents, teachers, experience, circumstances, friends, times, physical and mental endowment, or we are not. Born to the English language and American opportunity (I say this in 1937, after seven years of depression, but I say it seriously) we are among the incredibly lucky ones.”
Wallace Stegner, Crossing to Safety

Wallace Stegner, Crossing to Safety
