A.B. Guthrie Jr.
“Dad used to read aloud to us from Dickens and Kipling. My tastes were omnivorous. I read anything I could lay my hands on, but the memory that stays with me is that of my father reading the Jungle Books to us when we were young. Beautiful stories!”
A. B. Guthrie, Jr.

John Gardner
“It's not easy to kill a mountain goat. He thinks with his spine.”
John Gardner, Grendel

John Gardner
“So it goes with me day by day and age by age, I tell myself. Locked in the deadly progression of moon and stars. I shake my head, muttering darkly on shaded paths, holding conversation with the only friend and comfort this world allows, my shadow.”
John Gardner, Grendel

Herman Melville
“So man’s insanity is heaven’s sense; and wandering from all mortal reason, man comes to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, indifferent as his God.”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick

Herman Melville
“Both jaws, like enormous shears, bit the craft completely in twain.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale
