Paul Auster
“Existence was bigger than just life. It was everyone's life all together, and even if you lived in Buffalo, New York and had never been more than ten miles from home, you were part of the puzzle, too. It didn't matter how small your life was.”
Paul Auster, The Brooklyn Follies

Franz Kafka
“The true way goes over a rope which is not stretched at any great height but just above the ground. It seems more designed to make people stumble than to be walked upon.”
Franz Kafka

Chuck Palahniuk
“The future is just wasted on some people.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Katherine Dunn
“Oh, of course, I always feel unconfident. ”
Katherine Dunn

Vladimir Nabokov
“Ada girl, adored girl, [...] I'm a radiant void. I'm convalescing after a long and dreadful illness. You cried over my unseemly scar, but now life is going to be nothing but love and laughter, and corn in cans. I cannot brood over broken hearts, mine is too recently mended.”
vladimir nabokov
