Cristina Campo
“Sprezzatura is a moral rhythm, it is the music of an interior grace; it is the tempo, I would like to say, in which the perfect freedom of any given destiny is made manifest”
Cristina Campo, The Unforgivable and Other Writings

Graham Greene
“Perhaps to the soldier the civilian is the man who employs him to kill, who includes the guilt of murder in the pay-envelope and escapes responsibility.”
Graham Greene, The Quiet American
tags: war

Françoise Sagan
“I lay full length on the sand, took up a handful and let it run through my fingers in soft yellow streams. I told myself that it ran out like time. It was an idle thought, and it was pleasant to have idle thoughts, for it was summer.”
Françoise Sagan, Bonjour tristesse
tags: sand

Cormac McCarthy
“But I will tell you Squire that having read even a few dozen books in common is a force more binding than blood.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Passenger

Virginia Woolf
“Volubly, troublously, the late clock sounded, coming in on the wake of Big Ben, with its lap full of trifles. Beaten up, broken up by the assault of carriages, the brutality of vans, the eager advance of myriads of angular men, of flaunting women, the domes and spires of offices and hospitals, the last relics of this lap full of odds and ends seemed to break, like the spray of an exhausted wave, upon the body of Miss Kilman standing still in the street for a moment to mutter "It is the flesh.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
