Claire Keegan
“It is something I am used to, this way men have of not talking: they like to kick a divot out of the grass with a boot heel, to slap the roof of a car before it takes off, to spit, to sit with their legs wide apart, as though they do not care.”
Claire Keegan, Foster

Gabriel García Márquez
“Pura Vicario wrapped the face of the rejected daughter in a cloth so that no one would see the bruises, and she dressed her in bright red so nobody might think she was mourning her secret lover.”
Gabriel García Márquez, CHRONICLE OF A DEATH FORETOLD. Translated from the Spanish by Gregory Rabassa

Niccolò Ammaniti
“La vie ne nous appartient pas, elle nous traverse.”
Niccolò Ammaniti, Anna

“En entrant dans la maison, j’ai couru dans les escaliers bruyamment et je me suis tout de suite mise à écrire un poème d’amour. J’étais inspirée comme dix! Le morceau de papier est encore caché entre mon matelas et mon sommier. Je l’ai parfumé avec ma vieille eau de toilette. Des fois, ça sent la gomme balloune en plein milieu de la nuit et ça me rappelle que le poème dort là..”
Sarah-Maude Beauchesne, Cœur de slush

Pinny Brakeley Bugaeff
“...if people ever knew who walks among us freely, they’d never leave their homes.”
Pinny Brakeley Bugaeff, Tell Me About It: Memoir of a Psychotherapist
