Susan Sontag
“Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.”
Susan Sontag

Samuel Shem
“Paranoia's OK," said Berry, "it's just a more primitive defense. If you think someone's watching you, you think you're not alone.”
Samuel Shem, House of God

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“We did our best to conjure up the culinary staples of our culture, but since we were dependent on Chinese markets our food had an unacceptably Chinese tinge, another blow in the gauntlet of our humiliation that left us with the sweet-and-sour taste of unreliable memories, just correct enough to evoke the past, just wrong enough to remind us that the past was forever gone, missing along with the proper variety, subtlety, and complexity of our universal solvent, fish sauce.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Maggie Stiefvater
“She tossed the knife into the sink, where it would remain until it died.”
Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

Donna Tartt
“Sometimes, when there’s been an accident and reality is too sudden and strange to comprehend, the surreal will take over. Action slows to a dreamlike glide, frame by frame; the motion of a hand, a sentence spoken, fills an eternity. Little things—a cricket on a stem, the veined branches on a leaf—are magnified, brought from the background in achingly clear focus.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History
