Arundhati Roy
“She held that life together for fourteen years and then suddenly she couldn't anymore. There were a number of explanations for why this was so, but chief among them was exhaustion. She was tired of living a life that wasn't really hers at an address she oughtn't to be at.”
Arundhati Roy, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness

Criss Jami
“The only thing more frustrating than slanderers is those foolish enough to listen to them.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

Anthony Doerr
“I think of you all the time, the veins in your throat, the fuzz on your arms, your eyes, your mouth. I loved you then, I love you now.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Sarah Dessen
“There's a kind of radar that you get, after years of being talked about and made fun of by other people. You can almost smell it when it's about to happen, can recognize instantly the sound of a hushed voice, lowered just enough to make whatever is said okay. I had only been in Colby for a few weeks. But I had not forgotten.”
Sarah Dessen, Keeping the Moon

Wally Lamb
“Too bad I didn't know you back then, I would have come and rescued you." Like he was Prince Charming or something. Which he is, in a way, because he rescued me from the simple, uncomplicated life I thought I liked until I realized how much I was missing. How lonely that life had been: going to work, going home, and watching TV, going places by myself on weekends.”
Wally Lamb, We Are Water
