Erin Morgenstern
“Not all stories speak to all listeners, but all listeners can find a story that does, somewhere, sometime. In one form or another.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Erin Morgenstern
“For a while I was looking for a person but I didn't find them and after that I was looking for myself. Now that I've found me I'm back to exploring, which is what I was doing in the first place before I was doing anything else and I think I was supposed to be exploring all along.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Graham Swift
“It was like a voyage, only the other way round. So that instead of the waiting and hoping to sight land, you were moving over land in the first place, all impatient, all ready for that first glimpse. The seaside. The sea.”
Graham Swift, Last Orders

Ahmed Saadawi
“We try to avoid meeting one another, although we are moving around in search of one another.”
Ahmed Saadawi, Frankenstein in Baghdad

Esi Edugyan
“Life holds a sanctity for them we can scarcely begin to imagine; it therefore struck them as absurd that someone would choose to end it.”
Esi Edugyan, Washington Black
