Sylvia Plath
“I stepped from the air-conditioned compartment onto the station platform, and the motherly breath of the suburbs enfolded me. It smelt of lawn sprinklers and station wagons and tennis rackets and dogs and babies.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Ernest Hemingway
“The cat is the best anarchist.”
Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

Mary Louise Kelly
“In his book "Being Mortal", the surgeon Atul Gawande accurately describes the joy that flows from being good at your work. 'You become a doctor for what you imagine to be the satisfaction of the work, and that turns out to be the satisfaction of competence,' Dr. Gawande writes. 'It is a deep satisfaction very much like the one that a carpenter experiences in restoring a fragile antique chest...It comes partly from being helpful to others. But it also comes from being technically skilled and able to solve difficult, intricate problems. Your competence gives you a secure sense of identity.”
Mary Louise Kelly, It. Goes. So. Fast.: The Year of No Do-Overs

E.M. Forster
“Appearing thus late in the story, Cecil must be at once described. He was medieval. Like a Gothic statue.”
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

Claudia Rankine
“Yes, and this is how you are a citizen: Come on. Let it go. Move on.”
Claudia Rankine, Citizen: An American Lyric
