Kevin Killian
“Even when it was happening to me, I thought, 'This will make a good story someday,' but now that I think of it, its story's not that good at all. More important than its plot, it's the quality of feeling that strikes me now-something out of this world, 'outlandish' in its literal sense.”
Kevin Killian, Fascination: Memoirs

Jesse Ball
“There is a confusion between myself and the literary world about what should constitute a text. I believe (along with many other writers historically) that a text should be elusive, and that the act of reading a text should make the reader conscious of the life they are living. That is, the text should overflow its borders, demonstrating the complicity of our consciousness with the coloring of our surroundings and the supposed sequentiality of events. To write texts this way, one must stop prior to the point of total explanation.”
Jesse Ball, Autoportrait

Willa Cather
“He burnt like a faggot in a tempest.”
Willa Cather, Paul's Case

Lindsey Drager
“... there are two kinds of labyrinths: those you are born into and must escape, and those you choose to enter in search of what lies inside.”
Lindsey Drager, The Archive of Alternate Endings

Robert Irwin

"It works, but it does not get one anywhere," said Vance.

"But it is very beautiful. Magic is an art that pleases the eye and the ear," said Bulbul.”
Robert Irwin, The Arabian Nightmare
