Percival Everett
“Everybody should read fiction… I don’t think serious fiction is written for a few people. I think we live in a stupid culture that won’t educate its people to read these things. It would be a much more interesting place if it would. And it’s not just that mechanics and plumbers don’t read literary fiction, it’s that doctors and lawyers don’t read literary fiction. It has nothing to do with class, it has to do with an anti-intellectual culture that doesn’t trust art.”
Percival Everett

Peter    Cameron
“I found the idea of being a librarian very appealing--working in a place where people had to whisper and only speak when necessary. If only the world were like that!”
Peter Cameron, Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You

Richard Siken
“Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, “I am falling to the floor crying,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn’t paint it very well.”
Richard Siken

Toni Cade Bambara
“As a culture worker who belongs to an oppressed people my job is to make revolution irresistible.”
Toni Cade Bambara, Conversations with Toni Cade Bambara

Shelby Foote
“A university is just a group of buildings gathered around a library.”
Shelby Foote
