Iain Banks
“All our lives are symbols. Everything we do is part of a pattern we have at least some say in. The strong make their own pattern ms and influence other people’s, the weak have their courses mapped out for them. The weak and the unlucky, and the stupid.”
― Iain Banks, The Wasp Factory

Denis Johnson
“Well, it’s very much for each person to experience alone,” he said, and whatever truth he meant to get at, his eyes were the visible scars of it.”
― Denis Johnson, Tree of Smoke

Megan Abbott
“The way men touch you is so different from how boys do. Like they know all the handles and levers. Which felt so unfair, really.”
― Megan Abbott, Give Me Your Hand

Mark Z. Danielewski
“...they can make up their own mind. Kle loved that expression. "'Make up' as in fabricating as in creating your own mind. Pretty radical phrase if you give it a moment.”
― Mark Z. Danielewski, Into the Forest

Mark Z. Danielewski
“Oh Shnorhk, how beautifully you speak Armenian, the third thing I miss most about you. The second thing I miss most about you: how beautifully you play."
Shnorhk not say anything. What trying to say only take away. Shnorhk just scald throat with more tea and eat cake after cake.
Grateful still, in the end, that Mnatsagan, always kind, is kind enough not to say the first thing he miss so much.”
― Mark Z. Danielewski, One Rainy Day in May
