Book cover for Flaubert's Parrot
1846 I did with you what I have done before with those I loved best: I showed them the bottom of the bag, and the acrid dust that rose from it made them choke.

Tony Horwitz
“Daijiro said the group was composed of retired fruit and vegetable wholesalers on a week-long tour of America. They were visiting three places only: Niagara Falls, Las Vegas and Atlanta. “We want to see the history and beauty of America,” Daijiro explained.”
Tony Horwitz, Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War

Evan Osnos
“the streets. That’s not a criticism. It’s just a reality.” A senior Obama administration official observed that Biden’s acknowledgment also contained a subtler message: “This country needs to just chill the fuck out and have a boring president.”
Evan Osnos, Joe Biden: The Life, the Run, and What Matters Now

Janet Skeslien Charles
“Like heavy heads of wheat whispering to each other right before harvest, our murmurs rippled.”
Janet Skeslien Charles, The Paris Library

Julian Barnes
“The whole dream of democracy,’ he wrote, ‘is to raise the proletariat to the level of stupidity attained by the bourgeoisie.”
Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

Elif Batuman
“It seems to me that your sense of other people’s awfulness might be compensating for your own sense of inferiority and fear of rejection. You rationalize the rejection of your peers by telling yourself it comes from other people’s deficiencies rather than your own. They can’t understand your philosophy or your ideas.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot
