Mary Norris
“Something there is in cyberspace that doesn't love an apostrophe.”
Mary Norris, Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen

Elizabeth  Stone
“The particular human chain we're part of is central to our individual identity. Even if we loathe our families, in order to know ourselves, we seem to need to know about them, just as prologue. Not to know is to live with some of the disorientation and anxiety of the amnesiac.”
Elizabeth Stone, Black Sheep and Kissing Cousins: How Our Family Stories Shape Us

Gail Caldwell
“This was a hard-won but brilliant education: I had realized, as life is always willing to instruct, that the world as we see it is only the published version. The subterranean realms, whether churches or hospital rooms or smoke-filled basements, are part of what holds up the rest. The realized life versus the external picture of it: the assumption and projections that we all make about other people's lives.”
Gail Caldwell, Let's Take the Long Way Home: A Memoir of Friendship

Rebecca Mead
“Reading is sometimes thought of as a form of escapism, and it’s a common turn of phrase to speak of getting lost in a book. But a book can also be where one finds oneself; and when a reader is grasped and held by a book, reading does not feel like an escape from life so much as it feels like an urgent, crucial dimension of life itself.”
Rebecca Mead, My Life in Middlemarch

Gail Caldwell
“In crisis, I circled my wagons, more afraid of being disappointed by someone than going it alone.”
Gail Caldwell, Let's Take the Long Way Home: A Memoir of Friendship
