Norman Mailer
“Characters in novels sometimes radiate more energy, therefore, when we don’t enter their mind. It is one of the techniques a novelist acquires instinctively—don’t go into your protagonist’s thoughts until you have something to say about his or her inner life that is more interesting than the reader’s suppositions.”
Norman Mailer, The Spooky Art: Thoughts on Writing

Alfred Tennyson
“Come then, pure hands, and bear the head
That sleeps or wears the mask of sleep,
And come, whatever loves to weep,
And hear the ritual of the dead.”
Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam

Herman Melville
“All my means are sane, my motive and my object mad.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Camille Paglia
“The movies have always shown how elemental passions boil beneath the thin veneer of civilization.”
Camille Paglia, Provocations: Collected Essays on Art, Feminism, Politics, Sex, and Education

W.G. Sebald
“In my photographic work I was always especially entranced, said Austerlitz, by the moment when the shadows of reality, so to speak, emerge out of nothing on the exposed paper, as memories do in the middle of the night, darkening again if you try to cling to them, just like a photographic print left in the developing bath too long.”
W.G. Sebald, Austerlitz
