William Alexander Percy
“A little while and the living town, this tiny world of mine, will all be here, tucked under the same dark blanket, cosily together. Another little while and the last of us, those I loved and those I disapproved will be sharing oblivion, for no one will remember any of us.”
William Alexander Percy, Lanterns on the Levee

Virginia Woolf
“It proves that Virginia Stephen was not born on the 25th January 1882, but was born many thousands of years ago and had from the very first to encounter instincts already acquired by thousands of ancestresses in the past.”
Virginia Woolf

Alfred North Whitehead
“The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy.”
Alfred North Whitehead

Joan Didion
“It is hard to find California now, unsettling to wonder how much of it was merely imagined or improvised; melancholy to realize how much of anyone’s memory is no true memory at all but only the traces of someone else’s memory, stories handed down on the family network.”
Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem

Margery Allingham
“The soul is one's own affair from the beginning to the end. What is the soul? When I was a child I thought it was a little ghostly bean, kidney-shaped. I don't know why. Now I think of it as the man I am with when I am alone.”
Margery Allingham, The Tiger in the Smoke
