Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake

Michael Chabon
“Forget about what you are escaping from. Reserve your anxiety for what you are escaping to.”
Michael Chabon, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay

Nathan  Hill
“Seeing ourselves clearly is the project of a lifetime.”
Nathan Hill, The Nix

Katie Kitamura
“Interpretation can be profoundly disorienting, you can be so caught up in the minutiae of the act, in trying to maintain utmost fidelity to the words being spoken first by the subject and then by yourself, that you do not necessarily apprehend the sense of the sentences themselves: you literally do not know what you are saying. Language loses its meaning.”
Katie Kitamura, Intimacies

James Baldwin
“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”
James Baldwin
