An overwhelming desire to help, or to be admired, came over him.

The Circle | Dave Eggers

I think the NYtimes calling it "prophetic" was a bit much, but def a worthwhile read!

quote
OhMeaghan

In Prague, a guy is throwing up. Another guy comes up to him, pulls a long face, shakes his head, and says: 'I know just what you mean.'

The Bluest Eye | Toni Morrison

She was introduced to another - physical beauty. Probably the most destructive ideas in the history of human thought.

The Bluest Eye | Toni Morrison

Holding Cholly as a model of sin and failure, she bore him like a crown of thorns, and her children like a cross.

Crime and Punishment | Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky

I like it when people lie! Lying is man's only privilege over all other organisms. If you lie-you get to the truth! Lying is what makes a man. (...) lying in one's own way is almost better than telling the truth; in the first case you're a man, and in the second-no better than a bird!

Infinite Jest | David Foster Wallace

I have administrative bones to pick with God, Boo. I'll say God seems to have a kind of laid-back management style I'm not crazy about. I'm pretty much anti-death. God looks by all accounts to be pro-death. I'm not seeing how we can get together on this issue, he and I, Boo.

rachelm I love that quote. Big fan of that sib relationship too 8y
