Leo Tolstoy
“You must know that without you there is nothing left in my life, and suffering with you is the greatest possible happiness.”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Philipp Meyer
“And one day even that work would end, and there would be no record, nothing left standing, to show that anything had ever been built in America. It was going to cause big problems, he didn’t know how but he felt it. You could not have a country, not this big, that didn’t make things for itself. There would be ramifications eventually.”
Philipp Meyer, American Rust

T.J. Klune
“You don’t seem like a man who loves to fail, so why are you so good at it?”
T.J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door

Percival Everett
“I thought about tearing out his songs and burning them, but they would still exist. Those crackers would still sing them. Better to know they exist. Don’t you think?”
Percival Everett, James

S.A. Cosby
“The world’s fine, Ronnie. It’s us that’s fucked up,” he said.”
S.A. Cosby, Blacktop Wasteland
