Jeffrey Eugenides
“Everyone struggles against despair, but it always wins in the end. It has to. It's the thing that lets us say goodbye.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex

Yann Martel
“Why can't reason give greater answers? Why can we throw a question further than we can pull in an answer? Why such a vast net if there's so little fish to catch?”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

Flannery O'Connor
“Behind the newspaper Julian was withdrawing into the inner compartment of his mind where he spent most of his time. This was a kind of mental bubble in which he established himself when he could not bear to be a part of what was going on around him. From it he could see out and judge but in it he was safe from any kind of penetration from without. It was the only place where he felt free of the general idiocy of his fellows. His mother had never entered it but from it he could see her with absolute clarity.”
Flannery O'Connor, Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories

Michael Ondaatje
“Moments before sleep are when she feels most alive, leaping across fragments of the day, bringing each moment into the bed with her like a child with schoolbooks and pencils. The day seems to have no order until these times, which are like a ledger for her, her body full of stories and situations.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

Milan Kundera
“True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which is deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
