“I remember one letter from a girl in a midwestern town who read one of my books and thought she had discovered it- that no one had ever read it or knew about it. Then one day in her local library she found cards for one or two of my other books. They were full of names- the books were borrowed all the time. She resented this a bit and then walked around the town looking in everybody's face and wondering if they were the ones who were reading my books. That is someone I write for.” IfsWritingTwoBookRememberFacesGirlReadingFoundNamesBitsWonderOne DayLettersTownsLibraryLocalsCardsBorrowed Author:J. P. Donleavy
“One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.” WritingSelfHandsCoursesDarkKnowingMastersOne DayMadnessNobleCardsNot KnowingWhipsDeckChainedDeck Of Cards Author:Truman Capote

“My family suffered. My hair turned up in every corner, every drawer, every meal. Even in the rice puddings Tessie made, covering each little bowl with wax paper before putting it away in the fridge--even into these prophylactically secure desserts my hair found its way! Jet black hairs wound themselves around bars of soap. They lay pressed like flower stems between the pages of books. They turned up in eyeglass cases, birthday cards, once--I swear--inside an egg Tessie had just cracked. The next-door neighbor's cat coughed up a hairball one day and the hair was not the cat's.” WayLittlesMadeBookNextFoundBlackCasesDoorsFlowerHairOne DayPaperPagesCatMy FamilyLaysCornersNeighborWoundsBarsCardsSecureMealsEggsSwearBowlsStemSoapRiceCoveringJetDessertCrackedDrawersPuddingFridgesEyeglassesBlack HairNext Door NeighborsBirthday CardHairballsRice Pudding Book:Middlesex Source: Middlesex
“Luck in all its moods had to be loved and not feared Bond saw luck as a woman, to be softly wooed or brutally ravaged, never pandered to or pursued. But he was honest enough to admit that he had never yet been made to suffer by cards or by women.
