Jón Kalman Stefánsson
“A man thinks about many things in a forest, especially if a big river runs through it.”
Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Summer Light, and Then Comes the Night: A Novel

Susan Sontag
“My emotional life: dialectic between craving for privacy and need to submerge myself in a passionate relationship to another.”
Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

Christopher Isherwood
“But seriously, I believe I'm a sort of Ideal Woman, if you know what I mean. I'm the sort of woman who can take men away from their wives, but I could never keep anybody for long. And that's because I'm the type which every man imagines he wants, until he gets me; and then he finds he doesn't really, after all.”
Christopher Isherwood, Goodbye to Berlin

Bohumil Hrabal
“Lost in my dreams, I somehow cross at the traffic signals, bumping into street lamps or people, yet moving onward, exuding fumes of beer and grime, yet smiling, because my briefcase is full of books and that very night I expect them to tell me things about myself I don't know.”
Bohumil Hrabal, Too Loud a Solitude

Ge Fei
“The best attributes of anyone or anything usually reside on the surface, which is where, in fact, all of us live out our lives. Everyone has an inner life, but it's best if we leave it alone. For as soon as you poke a hole through that paper window, most of what's inside simply won't stand up to scrutiny.”
Ge Fei, The Invisibility Cloak
