Michel Foucault
“Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same. More than one person, doubtless like me, writes in order to have no face.”
Michel Foucault

Jonathan Franzen
“I find it a huge strain to be responsible for my tastes and be known and defined by them.”
Jonathan Franzen, Strong Motion

Raymond Carver
“It's possible, in a poem or short story, to write about commonplace things and objects using commonplace but precise language, and to endow those things—a chair, a window curtain, a fork, a stone, a woman's earring—with immense, even startling power.”
Raymond Carver

Jonathan Franzen
“The world was ending then, it's ending still, and I'm happy to belong to it again.”
Jonathan Franzen, How to Be Alone

Tom Robbins
“Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.
Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.
Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.
There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay?
Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.”
Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker
