    Hubert Selby Jr.
    “THE SUN WAS DOWN which made it night time, but Harry and Tyrone were bugged with all the lights that stabbed and slashed and skewered their eyeballs. They hung tough behind their shades. Daytime is a drag, when the sun is shining, the sunlight bouncing off windows and cars and buildings and the sidewalk and the goddamn glare pushing on your eyeballs like two big thumbs and you look forward to the night when you can get some relief from the assaults of the day and start to come alive as the moon rises, but you never get the complete relief you look forward to, that you anticipate.”

    Jody Summers
    “Since that night a couple of weeks ago when Valerie had stayed with
    him, they had barely separated. The stories of Rabbit’s Revenge droned
    on and on talking of the impending doom of the planet and the international
    scientific community’s various attempts to determine a course of
    action to prevent it.
    For Jeremy, however, each passing day left him feeling more and
    more certain he was missing something. It was just a nagging little sensation
    that lingered like an itch on the back of his neck. With Valerie
    now firmly implanted in his life, it was a wonder he even thought about
    it at all, but during his quiet moments and when he awoke in the mornings
    or even during his more intense workouts, the sensation crept back
    up on him. It seemed to center around the experience of having his life
    pass before his eyes, but beyond that it was just nebulous.
    And annoying.”

    “There’s something… I can’t really explain it. Best not to try.’ ‘I’m so sorry. Must be so disturbing for you. But can’t you tell him about it?’  ‘No.’  ‘Is it affecting him?’  ‘I can’t really say. It’s complicated. He’s strong, he can overcome it, it’s going to take time. It’s something he has to face, something very difficult and complex. I can’t go there to be with him and I can’t say anything. I have to do what I have to do.”

    Alan Bradley
    “What seemed at first like an act of incandescent self-destruction turned out to be the onramp to a bleak treadmill, one that felt designed to eradicate my personality and identity. It didn’t end my self-recrimination and misery. Instead, it illustrated just how good I’d had it living on the street.”

    “and to be quite frank, that is precisely what we need philosophers for. We do not need them to choose a beauty queen or the day's bargain in tomatoes. (This is why they are often unpopular!) Philosophers will try to ignore highly topical affairs and instead try to draw people's attention to what is eternally 'true,' eternally 'beautiful,' and eternally 'good.”

    Robert Penn Warren
    “I could lie there as long as I wanted, and let all the pictures of things a man might want run through my head, coffee, a girl, money, a drink, white sand and blue water, and let them all slide off, one after another, like a deck of cards slewing slowly off your hand. Maybe the things you want are like cards. You don't want them for themselves, really, though you think you do. You don't want a card because you want the card, but because in a perfectly arbitrary system of rules and values and in a special combination of which you already hold a part the card has meaning. But suppose you aren't sitting in a game. Then, even if you do know the rules, a card doesn't mean a thing. They all look alike.”
