Two 50 in 52 Project quotes from Sophie’s Choice

Two 50 in 52 Project Quotes!

“There are friends one makes at a youthful age in whom one simply rejoices, for whom one possesses a love and loyalty mysteriously lacking in the friendships made in after-years, no matter how genuine.”

and

“I have learned to cry again and I think perhaps that means I am a human being again. Perhaps that at least. A piece of human being but yes, a human being.”

from Sophie’s Choice by William Stryon (that’s him in the photo)

a 50 in 52 Project quote from Song of Solomon

A 50 in 52 Project Quote!

“She was the third beer. Not the first one, which the throat receives with almost tearful gratitude; nor the second, that confirms and extends the pleasure of the first. But the third, the one you drink because it’s there, because it can’t hurt, and because what difference does it make?”

from Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison (that’s her in the photo)

a 50 in 52 Project quote from The Crying of Lot 49

A 50 in 52 Project Quote!

“For a moment she’d wondered if the seal around her sockets were tight enough to allow the tears simply to go on and fill up the entire lens space and never dry. She could carry the sadness of the moment with her that way forever, see the world refracted through those tears, those specific tears, as if indices as yet unfound varied in important ways from cry to cry.”

from The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon (that’s him in the photo)

a 50 in 52 Project quote from To Kill a Mockingbird

A 50 in 52 Project Quote!

“To all parties present and participating in the life of the county, Aunt Alexandra was one of the last of her kind: she had river-boat, boarding-school manners; let any moral come along and she would uphold it; she was born in the objective case; she was an incurable gossip.”

from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (that’s her in the photo)
