Don DeLillo

But he had to think now, and he stared at the smoke-dimmed stars in the hope that they would help him, but all they did was go on shining. Bernard Cornwell
Skepticism, not cleanliness, is next to godliness. Skepticism is the father of freedom. It is like the pry that holds open the door for truth to slip in. Gerry Spence
Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another's skin, another's voice, another's soul. Joyce Carol Oates
Margaret Atwood quote: "Women are hard to keep track of, most of them. They slip into..."
Women are hard to keep track of, most of them. They slip into other names, and sink without a trace. Margaret Atwood
