Donna Tartt
“But Robin: their dear little Robs. More than ten years later, his death remained an agony; there was no glossing any detail; its horror was not subject to repair or permutation by any of the narrative devices that the Cleves knew. And—since this willful amnesia had kept Robin's death from being translated into that sweet old family vernacular which smoothed even the bitterest mysteries into comfortable, comprehensible form—the memory of that day's events had a chaotic, fragmented quality, bright mirrorshards of nightmare which flared at the smell of wisteria, the creaking of a clothes-line, a certain stormy cast of spring light.”
Donna Tartt, The Little Friend

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I am a Tralfamadorian, seeing all time as you might see a stretch of the Rocky Mountains. All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Anaïs Nin
“All that is sacred and taboo in the world are meaningless.”
Anais Nin

Chuck Palahniuk
“There are worse things than finding your wife and child dead.
You can watch the world do it. You can watch your wife get old and bored. You can watch your kids discover everything in the world you've tried to save them from. Drugs, divorce, conformity, disease. All the nice clean books, music, television. Distraction.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

“You grow up to become living proof of your parents' limitations. Their less-than masterpiece.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey
