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

Elizabeth Goudge
“Why untidy hair and an inability to make oneself understood should be the hall-mark of genius I have never been able to understand.”
Elizabeth Goudge, A City of Bells

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

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

Elizabeth Goudge
“It was usual for Gervas Leigh to lose everything not actually attached to his person by a string, the habit of dissociation from material things being the first to be acquired by men of saintly character.”
Elizabeth Goudge, Towers in the Mist
