Joyce Carol Oates

"Sebastian tapped his index finger on the polished wood thoughtfully. Yes, it was a universal truth: some things once broken were broken forever-like trust. It might be patched up and smoothed over, but it would always be the thing that had once been shattered."

"Causes for attachment are created at the very time abhorrence occurs. Familiarity (acquaintance) up to a certain point will result in attachment and if it reaches 'ridge point' & goes past further, it will result in abhorrence."

"Belikov is a sick, evil man who should be thrown into a pit of rabid vipers for the great offense he commited against you this morning.""Thank you." I said primly. Then, I considered. "Can vipers be rabid?""I don't see why not. Everything can be. I think. Canadian geese might be worse than vipers, though.""Canadian geese are deadlier than vipers?""You ever try to feed those little bastards? They're vicious. You get thrown to vipers, you die quickly. But the geese? That'll go on for days. More suffering.""Wow. I don't know whether I should be impressed or frightened that you've thought about all of this."

"Nico's voice was like broken glass. "I- I wasn't in love with Annabeth.""You were jealous of her," Jason said. "That's why you didn't want to be around her. Especially why you don't want to be around... him. It makes total sense."

"Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Our house is made of glass... and our lives are made of glass; and there is nothing we can do to protect ourselves."

Nothing

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Where we come from in America no longer signifies. It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are."

Change

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Obviously the imagination is fueled by emotions beyond the control of the conscious mind."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"I feel very transparent in myself. I'm more of an observer. I'm interested in what's going on. I'm not sure that I really have a personality. Some people think I do have a personality. I have a personality when I am with certain people - but when I'm not with them I don't have that personality. I just sort of go back to resembling a transparent glass of water."

Self

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"A wet autumn morning, a garbage truck clattering down the street. The first snowfall of the season, blossom sized flakes falling languidly and melting on teh ground, a premature snow fall delicate as lace, rapidly melting."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"It is utterly naive, futile, uninformed-to think that our species is exceptional. So designated to master the beasts of the Earth, as in the Book of Genesis!"

Philosophy

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"The best part of being a nanny, Katya thought, was reading children's books aloud to enraptured children like Tricia, for no one had read such books aloud to her when she'd been a little girl. There hadn't been such books in the Spivak household on County Line Road, nor would there have been any time for such interludes."

Education

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"A fear of the unknown: what was that called?Worse yet: a fear of the known."

Fear

Joyce Carol Oates
"This was before voice mail, recorded phone messages you can't escape. Life was easier then. You just didn't pick up the phone."
