Marisa Silver
“the sorrow she carried around that made her smile come a second too late and made her ears grow dull so that her children would have to call her three or four times before they could get her attention.”
Marisa Silver, Mary Coin

William Faulkner
“It is because so much happens. Too much happens. That's it. Man performs, engenders, so much more than he can or should have to bear. That's how he finds that he can bear anything. That's it. That's what is so terrible. That he can bear anything, anything.”
William Faulkner, Light in August

Fannie Flagg
“being a successful person is not necessarily defined by what you have achieved, but by what you have overcome.”
Fannie Flagg, The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion

Alex Haley
“Either you deal with what is the reality, or you can be sure that the reality is going to deal with you.”
Alex Haley

David Sedaris
“Neighbors would pass, and when they honked I'd remember that I was in my Speedo. Then I'd wrap my towel like a skirt around my waist and remind my sisters that this was not girlish but Egyptian, thank you very much.”
David Sedaris, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls: Essays, Etc.
