Nicole Krauss
“Lonely people are always up in the middle of the night.”
Nicole Krauss

“Piece of cake!”
Carolyn Keene, Wedding Day Disaster

Hubert Selby Jr.
“She a nice lady ol auntie … but ol moms was somethin else, she really somethin else. Harrys eyes were closed and he was leanin back remembering how his mother always protected him from the cold wind in the winter when he was a kid, and how warm she felt when he got in the house and she hugged the cold out of his ears and cheeks and always had a bowl of hot soup waiting. … Yeah, I guess the old lady was pretty groovy too. I guess its a bitch being alone like that. Harry Goldfarb and Tyrone C. Love sat loosely in their chairs, their eyes half closed, feeling the warmth of fond memories and heroin flowing through them as they got ready for another nights work.”
Hubert Selby Jr., Requiem for a Dream

Robert Fulghum
“I and you—we are infinite, rich, large, contradictory, living, breathing miracles—free human beings, children of God and the everlasting universe. That’s what we do.”
Robert Fulghum, It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It

Nicholas Evans
“Cesaron los estertores y sacudidas del viejo alce. La luna, que ascendía por el firmamento, se reflejó en sus ojos, negros y sin vida. Sólo entonces soltó a su presa el macho dominante. Sentado en sus cuartos traseros, apuntó al cielo con su hocico empapado de sangre y aulló. Todos los miembros de su familia levantaron la cabeza y le imitaron, tanto los protagonistas de la caza como sus espectadores. La muerte había ocupado el lugar de la vida; y así, a través de la muerte, la vida veía garantizada su continuidad. En aquel todo sangriento, vivos y muertos quedaban unidos por un ciclo tan antiguo e inmutable como la luna que describía su órbita por encima de sus cabezas.”
Nicholas Evans, The Loop
