“Kelsey, in this terrifying world, all we have are the connections that we make.”
Bojack Horseman

Sherwood Anderson
“It is this - that everyone in the world is Christ and they are all crucified. That's what I want to say. Don't you forget that. Whatever happens, don't you dare let yourself forget.”
Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio

Toni Morrison
“They come from Mobile. Aiken. From Newport News. From Marietta. From Meridian. And the sounds of these places in their mouths make you think of love. When you ask them where they are from, they tilt their heads and say "Mobile" and you think you've been kissed. They say "Aiken" and you see a white butterfly glance off a fence with a torn wing. They say "Nagadoches" and you want to say "Yes, I will." You don't know what these towns are like, but you love what happens to the air when they open their lips and let the names ease out.”
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

John Darnielle
“I can feel it in the rotten air tonight/ In the tips of my fingers, in the skin on my face/ In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light/ In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place/ Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell/ Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell/ I will walk down to the end with you/ If you will come all the way down with me”
John Darnielle

John Darnielle
“There are only two stories: either you go forward or you die.”
John Darnielle, Wolf in White Van
