“Don't be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible. Stay open, forever, so open it hurts, and then open up some more, until the day you die, world without end, amen.”
― George Saunders, The Braindead Megaphone

“The reality of what we really are is often times found in the small snips, way down at the bottom of things.”
― Jean Shepherd

“Ending a novel is almost like putting a child to sleep—it can't be done abruptly.”
― Colm Tóibín

“To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
