Junot Díaz
“Ana Iris once asked me if I loved him and I told her about the lights in my old home in the capital, how they flickered and you never knew if they would go out or not. You put down your things and you waited and couldn't do anything really until the lights decided. This, I told her, is how I feel.”
Junot Diaz, This Is How You Lose Her

John Fante
“Almighty God, I am sorry I am now an atheist, but have You read Nietzsche?”
John Fante, Ask the Dust

Junot Díaz
“This is what I know: people's hopes go on forever.”
Junot Díaz, This Is How You Lose Her

Katie Ford
“This is how it is with the anxious. What will not happen is happening all of the time.”
Katie Ford

Philip Levine
“Oh, yes, let’s bless the imagination. It gives us the myths we live by. Let’s bless the visionary power of the human— the only animal that’s got it—, bless the exact image of your father dead and mine dead, bless the images that stalk the corners of our sight and will not let go.”
Philip Levine, The Simple Truth: Poems
