Flannery O'Connor
“She looked at nice young men as if she could smell their stupidity.”
Flannery O'Connor

Robert Penn Warren
“The end of man is knowledge, but there is one thing he can't know. He can't know whether knowledge will save him or kill him. He will be killed, all right, but he can't know whether he is killed because of the knowledge which he has got or because of the knowledge which he hasn't got and which if he had it, would save him.”
Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men

Shirley Jackson
“A pretty sight, a lady with a book.”
Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived in the Castle

Elizabeth Gaskell
“I won't say she was silly, but I think one of us was silly, and it was not me.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, Wives and Daughters

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
