Edward St. Aubyn
“People never remember happiness with the care that they lavish on preserving every detail of their suffering.”
Edward St. Aubyn

Paul Murray
“Gradually the awful truth dawns on you: that Santa Claus was just the tip of the iceberg - that your future will not be the rollercoaster ride you'd imagined, that the world occupied by your parents, the world of washing the dishes, going to the dentist, weekend trips to the DIY superstore to buy floor tiles, is actually largely what people mean when they speak of 'life'.”
Paul Murray, Skippy Dies

Paul Beatty
“Silence can be either protest or consent, but most times it’s fear.”
Paul Beatty, The Sellout

Jeffrey Eugenides
“All wisdom ends in paradox.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

“Like most fedora wearers, he had a lot of inexplicable confidence.”
Aziz Ansari, Modern Romance
