George Eliot
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
George Eliot

Gilbert Sorrentino
“It is no wonder lesbians love women.”
Gilbert Sorrentino, The Moon in Its Flight

Herman Melville
“Take almost any path you please, and ten to one it carries you down in a dale, and leaves you there by a pool in the stream. There is magic in it. Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries--stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region. Should you ever be athirst in the great American desert, try this experiment, if your caravan happen to be supplied with a metaphysical professor. Yes, as every one knows, meditation and water are wedded for ever.”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick

Thomas Pynchon
“This is America, you live in it, you let it happen. Let it unfurl.”
Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49

Grace Paley
“The only thing you should have to do is find work you love to do. And I can't imagine living without having loved a person. A man, in my case. It could be a woman, but whatever. I think, what I always tell kids when they get out of class and ask, 'What should I do now?' I always say, 'Keep a low overhead. You're not going to make a lot of money.' And the next thing I say: 'Don't live with a person who doesn't respect your work.' That's the most important thing—that's more important than the money thing. I think those two things are very valuable pieces of information.”
Grace Paley
