Helen Garner
“I saw the bumpy shape of my skull, I saw myself shorn and revealed. I wandered in a dream around the city, glimpsing in shop windows a strange creature with my face.”
Helen Garner, Monkey Grip

Dorothy L. Sayers
“Facts are like cows. If you look them in the face long enough, they generally run away.”
Dorothy L. Sayers

Richard Powers
“I'd missed something obvious in over thirty years of reading and two thousand science fiction books: there was no place stranger than here.”
Richard Powers, Bewilderment

Chaim Potok
“Become a great artist. That is the only way to justify what you are doing to everyone's life.'... I did not understand what he meant. I did not feel I had to justify anything... I did not want to paint in order to justify anything, I wanted to paint because I wanted to paint. I wanted to paint the same way my father wanted to travel and work for the Rebbe. My father worked for Torah. I worked for - what? How could I explain it? For beauty? No. Many of the pictures I painted were not beautiful. For what, then? For a truth I did not know how to put into words. For truth I could only bring to life by means of color and line and texture and form.”
Chaim Potok, My Name Is Asher Lev

Helen Garner
“It was early summer. And everything, as it always does, began to heave and change.”
Helen Garner, Monkey Grip
