Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“This day will go down in history!' said Jones.

'Every day goes down in history,' said the boss.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Elizabeth Goudge
“Mind you do think. Don't just take out your feelings and look at them, which is what passes for thought with most of us pitiful, self-centred creatures. Look at the question from everyone's point of view.”
Elizabeth Goudge, A City of Bells

James Meek
“We're Englishmen. For us the road always goes home again.”
James Meek, To Calais, In Ordinary Time

Mary Karr
“God has a dream for me? I say. I love that idea. It sounds like a Disney movie.

I know, Margaret says. Her pale round face opens up. Everybody uses the phrase God's will or plan. That has a neo-Nazi ring to it.

I like the Disney version.

I feel you, she says, and I sit for a minute silently disbelieving she's a nun. She adjusts her heavy glasses, and her eyes once again magnify.

Let's eat a cookie and pray for each other's disordered attachments, she says. Mine involves pride and cookies.

Mine, I say, involves pride and good-looking men.

Together we bow our heads.”
Mary Karr, Lit

Colson Whitehead
“You can argue for hours about the Apollonian and the Dionysian, but the dark wins every time so fuck the Beatles, just fuck 'em, perspective-wise.”
Colson Whitehead, John Henry Days
