Doris Lessing
“I am a person who continually destroys the possibilities of a future because of the numbers of alternative viewpoints I can focus on the present.”
Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook

Sebastian Barry
“Because it strikes me there is something greater than judgement. I think it is called mercy.”
Sebastian Barry, The Secret Scripture

Mark Twain
“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”
Mark Twain

Margaret Atwood
“But who can remember pain, once it’s over? All that remains of it is a shadow, not in the mind even, in the flesh. Pain marks you, but too deep to see. Out of sight, out of mind.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Anne  Michaels
“But sometimes the world disrobes, slips its dress off a shoulder, stops time for a beat. If we look up at that moment, it's not due to any ability of ours to pierce the darkness, it's the world's brief bestowal. The catastrophe of grace.”
Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces
