Michelle Obama
“Hearing them, I realized that they weren’t at all smarter than the rest of us. They were simply emboldened, floating on an ancient tide of superiority, buoyed by the fact that history had never told them anything different.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Wallace Stevens
“Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of its container.”
Wallace Stevens

Jean Rhys
“I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty and its magic and the secret I would never know. I hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. Above all I hated her. For she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it.”
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea

Theodore Dreiser
“what matter it if a man gaineth the whole world and loseth his own soul?”
Theodore Dreiser, An American Tragedy

Gabriel García Márquez
“He was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes ad his dreams was at that moment reaching the finish line. The rest was darkness, 'Damn it,' he sighed. 'How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!”
Gabriel García Márquez, The General in His Labyrinth
