“What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“She was smart and terribly determined, this girl-her will was pure steel, through and through-but she was as human as anyone else. She was lonely, too. Lonely in a way that perhaps only single girls fresh from small Midwestern towns know. Homesickness is not always a vague, nostalgic, almost beautiful emotion, although that is somehow the way we always seem to picture it in our mind. It can be a terribly keen blade, not just a sickness in metaphor but in fact as well. It can change the way one looks at the world; the faces one sees in the street look not just indifferent but ugly....perhaps even malignant. Homesickness is a real sickness- the ache of the uprooted plant.”
― Stephen King, A Winter's Tale: The Breathing Method

“Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because the moment simply is.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“A lot of people lacked that gift: knowing when to fuck off.”
― Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl
