“What's mysterious, ambiguous, inexplicable. What doesn't fit into a story, what doesn't have a story. Glint of brightness on a barely-there chain. Patch of sunlight on a yellow wall. The loneliness that separates every living creature from every other living creature. Sorrow inseparable from joy.” StoriesJoyLonelinessWallFitSorrowCreaturesMysteriousChainsYellowSunlightPatchesInseparableBrightnessAmbiguousInexplicableLiving Creatures Author:Donna Tartt
“Rumors and reports of man's relation with animals are the world's oldest news stories, headlined in the stars of the zodiac, posted on the walls of prehistoric caves, inscribed in the languages of Egyptian myth, Greek philosophy, Hindu religion, Christian art, our own DNA.

“My vocation is to write and I have known this for a long time. I hope I won't be misunderstood; I know nothing about the value of the things I am able to write. I know that writing is my vocation. When I sit down to write I feel extraordinarily at ease, and I move in an element which, it seems to me, I know extraordinarily well; I use tools that are familiar to me and they fit snugly in my hands. But when I write stories I am like someone who is in her own country, walking along streets that she has known since she was a child, between walls and trees that are hers.” KnowsFeelsWritingWellsChildrenLongCountryStoriesUseHandsSeemsAbleMovingValuesKnownTreeStreetsWallFitWalkingElementsLong TimeToolsFamiliarEaseVocationMisunderstood Author:Natalia Ginzburg

“... if we take the universe of 'fitting,' countless coats 'fit' backs, and countless boots 'fit' feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones 'fit' gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually.

“Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?” ThinkingMayTwoTogetherWaterTreeWallFitFoundationGreenMiserySimplicityGentlemanDirtPalacesDwellingRefinedRefinementUnnoticedAlways WorkingMeadGreen TreesHousemaids Book:Delphi Complete Works of William Morris (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of William Morris (Illustrated)

“We found that if you played a bunch of punk singles in a row, people would dance like crazy and then get worn out and go somewhere else in the house. And if you played reggae all the time, people ended up leaning against the walls and nodding their head. But if you mixed it up, the floor got more and more packed, and the energy from the two types of music seemed to feed into each other, and the adrenaline from the punk, and the seductive sway of the reggae seemed to fit together.” PeopleIfsTwoTogetherFoundHouseEnergyCrazyWallTypeFitBunchPunkWornSomewhere ElseSeductiveAdrenalineSinglesWorn OutReggaeNodding Author:Dave Wakeling

“I've heard [Bernie] Sanders comments, and it's really caused me to wonder who's left in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Under his definition, [Barack] Obama is not progressive because he took donations from Wall Street; [Joe] Biden is not progressive because she supported Keystone; [Jeanne] Shaheen is not progressive because she supports the trade pact.
