Sylvia Plath
“There is a certain clinical satisfaction in seeing just how bad things can get.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Carlos Ruiz Zafón
“A writer never forgets the first time he accepted a few coins or a word of praise in exchange for a story. He will never forget the sweet poison of vanity in his blood and the belief that, if he succeeds in not letting anyone discover his lack of talent, the dream of literature will provide him with a roof over his head, a hot meal at the end of the day, and what he covets the most: his name printed on a miserable piece of paper that surely will outlive him. A writer is condemned to remember that moment, because from then on he is doomed and his soul has a price.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Angel's Game

Heather O'Neill
“Xavier wasn’t put on the earth to witness the bad htings like Jules and I were. He had been put here to notice lovely things, things that God had created and no one had any complaints about. Leaves turning red in the autumn. How when the tide goes out, the shells are left on the shore. I was put here - Jules and I were both put here - to see sadder things. We had to stand in the rain and explain why the world was a lovely place.”
Heather O'Neill, Lullabies for Little Criminals

Heather O'Neill
“Lonely children probably wrote the Bible.”
Heather O'Neill, Lullabies for Little Criminals

Henry Miller
“Everything was for tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. The present was only a bridge and on this bridge they are still groaning, as the world groans, and not one idiot ever thinks of blowing up the bridge.”
Henry Miller
