Herta Müller
“In this county, we had to walk, eat, sleep and love in fear.”
Herta Müller, The Land of Green Plums

Eula Biss
“But for now I prefer to think that I will go somewhere that is not so overimagined.”
Eula Biss, Notes from No Man's Land

William Paul Young
“There is something joyful about storms that interrupt routine... One can almost hear a unified sigh rise from the nearby city and surrounding countryside where Nature has intervened to give respite to the weary humans slogging it out within her purview. All those affected this way are united by a mutual excuse, and the heart is suddenly and unexpectedly a little giddy.”
W. Paul Young, The Shack

Jacqueline Woodson
“I watched my brother watch the world, his sharp, too-serious brow furrowing down in both angst and wonder. Everywhere we looked, we saw the people trying to dream themselves out. As though there was someplace other than this place. As though there was another Brooklyn.”
Jacqueline Woodson, Another Brooklyn

Studs Terkel
“What I remember most of those times is that poverty creates desperation, and desperation creates violence.”
Studs Terkel, Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression
