Evan’s Quotes

“Truth: I'd rather leave it
to chaos, nature's oddball math;
why try drunk punching through
a losing brawl?”

“I could see my mother's beater Chevy way down below in the parking lot and I pushed the green button on her automatic starter to see how far away I could be from something to make it come to life. Nothing happened, no lights came on.”
― Miriam Toews, All My Puny Sorrows

“Human beings need to watch out for reasonless niceness too. It's never reasonless and its reason's not usually nice.”
― David Mitchell, Black Swan Green

“I think about how much of a good story seems to happen elsewhere, off the canvas or screen or page, in Europe or a backwater New Brunswick town, in what is left unsaid. A word on the tip of the tongue, ungraspable. The teasing smush of a feather boa over naked breasts in a striptease.”
― Lisa Moore, Open: Stories
