Franz Kafka
“You misinterpret everything, even the silence.”
Franz Kafka, The Castle

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

W.G. Sebald
“To set one's name to a work gives no one a title to be remembered, for who knows how many of the best of men have gone without a trace? The iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppyseed and when wretchedness falls upon us one summer's day like snow, all we wish for is to be forgotten.”
W.G. Sebald, The Rings of Saturn

Ann Quin
“If I could trace a single line below the surface of my assumptions, would there come a point when clarity supersedes the chaos of what has been? The tragic sense of destiny is inherent in every man; but I defy fate, I alone am responsible for every action, every scene; in my nothingness I will create the idea, I shall see what I have imagined, and from that alone will spring my entire actions.”
Ann Quin, Berg

J.A. Baker
“I have always longed to be part of the outward life, to be out there at the edge of things, to let the human taint wash away in emptiness and silence as the fox sloughs his smell into the cold unworldliness of water; to return to town a stranger. Wandering flushes a glory that fades with arrival.”
J.A. Baker, The Peregrine
