John Steinbeck
“A writer out of loneliness is trying to communicate like a distant star sending signals. He isn't telling, or teaching, or ordering. Rather, he seeks to establish a relationship with meaning, of feeling, of observing. We are lonesome animals. We spend all our live trying to be less lonesome. And one of our ancient methods is to tell a story, begging the listener to say, and to feel, "Yes, that's the way it is, or at least that's the way I feel it. You're not as alone as you thought." To finish is sadness to a writer, a little death. He puts the last word down and it is done. But it isn't really done. The story goes on and leaves the writer behind, for no story is ever done.”
John Steinbeck

Jorge Luis Borges
“I have always imagined that Paradise will be some kind of library.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Penelope Fitzgerald
“On the whole, I think you should write biographies of those you admire and respect, and novels about human beings who you think are sadly mistaken.”
Penelope Fitzgerald

Gloria Steinem
“Once we give up searching for approval we often find it easier to earn respect.”
Gloria Steinem

Abraham   Verghese
“Life for the Italians was what it was, no more and no less, an interlude between meals”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone
