“So I go. I travel farther and faster and harder than most, and I read, and I write, and I love cities. To be alone in a crowd, apart and belonging, to have distance between what I see and what I am.”

“But good writers have a reason for doing the things the way they do them, and if you timker with their work, taking it upon yourself to neuteralise a slightly eccentric usage or zap a comma or sharpen the emphasis of something that the writer was deliberately keeping obscure, you are not helping.

― Mary Norris, Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen

“I like to think that what I do is masculine... when I hold a little baby and kiss it, that's the masculine part of me holding that little baby. When I have tears because I'm scared or because I'm full of joy, they're all masculine. There's not a feminine thing about them. - Marvin Allen in Manhood.”
― Steve Biddulph

“I don't feel particularly proud of myself. But when I walk alone in the woods or lie in the meadows, all is well.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Friends, Family, and Editors
