William T. Vollmann
“We always see ourselves as constant, and others as less so, no matter what policy shifts we ourselves may have been guilty of.”
William T. Vollmann, You Bright and Risen Angels

Junot Díaz
“Motherfuckers will read a book that’s one third Elvish, but put two sentences in Spanish and they [white people] think we’re taking over.”
Junot Díaz

David Markson
“In fact one frequently seemed to gather all sorts of similar information about subjects one had less than profound interest in.”
David Markson, Wittgenstein’s Mistress

Djuna Barnes
“Oh," he cried. "A broken heart have you! I have falling arches, flying dandruff, a floating kidney, shattered nerves and a broken heart!”
Djuna Barnes, Nightwood

Susan Sontag
“Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.”
Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor
