Frank Miller
“The world doesn't make sense until you force it to.”
Frank Miller

Elif Batuman
“Wasn't that itself the miracle--that love really was an obscure and unfathomable connection between individuals, and not an economic contest where everyone was matched up according to how quantifiably lovable they were?”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Carson McCullers
“For in a swift radiance of illumination he saw a glimpse of human struggle and valor. Of the endless fluid passage of the humanity through endless time. And of those who labor and of those who - one word- love. His soul expanded. But for a moment only. For in him, he felt a warning, a shaft of terror.”
Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter
