William Golding
“Maybe there is a beast… maybe it's only us.”
William Golding, Lord of the Flies

Janet Fitch
“The stupid things you say in the rain, that can't ever be washed away.”
Janet Fitch, Paint it Black

Khaled Hosseini
“Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time”
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

Mary Doria Russell
“So God just leaves?” John asked, angry where Emilio had been desolate. “Abandons creation? You’re on your own, apes. Good luck!” “No. He watches. He rejoices. He weeps. He observes the moral drama of human life and gives meaning to it by caring passionately about us, and remembering.”
Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow

Dorothy Allison
“That was what my book was about—telling a story that made sense of what did not make sense, and telling it plainly enough that anyone who wanted to could point to it and say “that’s my story.” A man in a Peterbilt cap or a teenage girl with her hair down in her eyes.”
Dorothy Allison (Author)
