David Grossman
“and suddenly I am washed over by a wave of happiness for it, for my little story, because it is a place, a home even, and I can go back to it from wherever I am”
David Grossman, Her Body Knows
tags: home, story

Louise Glück
“And he lay on the cold floor of the study watching the wind stirring the pages, mixing the written and unwritten, the end among them.”
Louise Glück, Faithful and Virtuous Night

Akwaeke Emezi
“You are crying,” she said. It was only then that Osita noticed the tears slipping into his ears. It was evening and the light was leaving. “It’s raining,” he told her, slurring his words.
She laughed. “It’s not raining.”
“It’s raining inside me,” he said and a wave if darkness took over.”
Akwaeke Emezi, The Death of Vivek Oji

Jenny Offill
“She thinks before she acts. Or more properly, she thinks instead of acts. A character flaw, not a virtue.”
Jenny Offill, Dept. of Speculation

Jenny Offill
“My plan was to never get married. I was going to be an art monster instead. Women almost never become art monsters because art monsters only concern themselves with art, never mundane things. Nabokov didn't even fold his own umbrella. Vera licked his stamps for him.”
Jenny Offill, Dept. of Speculation
