Megan Abbott
“Because the bad things you do become part of you, literally. This is no metaphor. They become part of you on a cellular level, in the blood.”
Megan Abbott, Give Me Your Hand

Nick Cave
“and that makes him wish all over again that his dad would stop crying, so he can have a turn.”
Nick Cave, The Death of Bunny Munro

“Getting old is like driving through snow that just gets deeper and deeper. When you finally get in over your hubcaps, you just spin and spin. That’s life. There are no plows to come and dig you out. Your ship isn’t going to come in, girl. There are no boats for nobody. You’re never going to win a contest. There’s no camera following you and people watching you struggle. This is it. All of it. Everything.”
Richard Bachman, Roadwork

Irvine Welsh
“Ah'm sittin in the hotel bar waitin oan Fiona. Thinkin aboot her heart-melting smile and that sexy, concentrated frown when she evaluates books and the comments made by lecturers. Whenever she comes into a room, ma spirits soar. What ah feel is delight, pure and simple. Our life is all passionate kisses and soft wells of laughter. Ah love watchin her in class; even though we're shaggin, it's still great tae just look at her.”
Irvine Welsh, Skagboys
