Anne Tyler
“I really believe that most people who seem scary are just sad.”
Anne Tyler, A Spool of Blue Thread

Amor Towles
“—I probably shouldn’t tell you this, I said.
—Kay-Kay, those are my six favorite words in the English language.”
Amor Towles, Rules of Civility

Hernan Diaz
“Most of us prefer to believe we are the active subjects of our victories but only the passive objects of our defeats. We triumph, but it is not really we who fail - we are ruined by forces beyond our control.”
Hernan Diaz, Trust

Shehan Karunatilaka
“The universe is all mathematics and probabilities.”
Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

Amor Towles
“After all, what can a first impression tell us about someone we’ve just met for a minute in the lobby of a hotel? For that matter, what can a first impression tell us about anyone? Why, no more than a chord can tell us about Beethoven, or a brushstroke about Botticelli. By their very nature, human beings are so capricious, so complex, so delightfully contradictory, that they deserve not only our consideration, but our reconsideration—and our unwavering determination to withhold our opinion until we have engaged with them in every possible setting at every possible hour.”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow
