## Quotes

* I am of the firm belief that everybody could write books and I never understand why they don't. After all, everyone speaks. Once the grammar has been learnt it is simply talking on paper and in time learning what not to say.
** James Vinson & D. L. Kirkpatrick (eds.), Contemporary Novelists, 2nd edition, (London: St. James Press, 1976).
* Being constantly with the children was like wearing a pair of shoes that were expensive and too small. She couldn't bear to throw them out, but they gave her blisters.
** Injury Time (London: Abacus, [1977] 2003) ch. 4, pp. 41-42.
* She opens her case with an account of her own experience — she married three times and twice it was rotten — and goes on to list, throughout the ages, the devastation perpetuated in the name of love. ... I disagree with some of her book. She chronicles a horrific list of cruelties and repressions practiced in the name of love and she infers that it is the exception rather than the rule that people know how to love one another. She must be wrong. What about all those millions of human beings who, long before the welfare state, despite misery, hunger and disease, mostly managed to care for each other with charity and tenderness? I don't know why any of us should presume that we're here to do anything very special, except procreate ...
** "Isn't Love All You Really Need?" The Guardian (7 June 1979), p. 11
** From a review of Jill Tweedie's In the Name of Love, Jonathan Cape, 1979
* Everything else you grow out of, but you never recover from childhood.
** The New York Times (1 March 1981)

# Derek Mahon

** Paris Review' 154, Spring 2000
* And in a disused shed in Co. Wexford, Deep in the grounds of a burnt-out hotel, Among the bathtubs and the washbasins A thousand mushrooms crowd to a keyhole.

# Derek Malone-France

Derek Malone-France (b. 1952–) is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religion at the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, school of George Washington University (GW). He is also a founding director of GW's French Embassy Center of Excellence. He is also known for interest in Astrobiology and the potential effects on religion, moderating "Astrobiology & Theology: A Discussion" in 2014 at the "John W. Kluge Center" in the Library of Congress.

## Quotes

* Intolerant believers embrace what we may call Calvin's contradiction, after the theologian who, perhaps, most brazenly weds the notions of religious certainty and textual interpretive 'inerrancy' with the directly contradictory notion of humanity's moral and epistemic 'fallenness.' John Calvin's steadfast refusal to consider the implications of his view of human 'depravity' for his own claims regarding the nature and meaning of scripture has conditioned Protestant belief ever since, setting the stage for the flight from anxiety that has helped to push the self-satisfied certainty of many Christians in tragically (and sinfully) aggressive and intolerant directions.
** Faith, Fallibility, and the Virtue of Anxiety: An Essay in Religion and Political Liberalism (2012), p. 35

# Derek Owusu

Derek Owusu is a British writer and podcaster.

## Quotes

* You don’t get many men talking about personality disorders or schizophrenia. The mental health issues that people find scary aren’t talked about – that’s where the conversation needs to go.
** On men and mental health discussions in “Derek Owusu: ‘Mental health issues that people find scary aren’t being talked about’” in The Guardian (2019 Nov 2)
* Anansi is the god of stories - I’m telling Anansi my story. I remember my aunt telling me some Anansi stories when I was 9 or 10, but I didn’t take them in. In my 20s, I bought loads of Anansi books. History, folklore, and culture gives you pride and happiness through a sense of connection.
** On giving his book That Reminds Me folkloric elements in “Derek Owusu: ‘Mental health issues that people find scary aren’t being talked about’” in The Guardian (2019 Nov 2)
* Black men are often seen in two-dimensional ways as historical racist ideas have been passed on, and the media doesn’t help – reinforcing these ridiculous stereotypes. We often conflate black British men with African men, and it was important to get nuances on paper.
** On Black masculinity in “Derek Owusu: ‘Mental health issues that people find scary aren’t being talked about’” in The Guardian (2019 Nov 2)
* Most literary agents are middle class white men who won’t understand what you’ve written unless it’s a slave narrative or someone 'from the streets'. They have a moment where they’re like, 'Well, where do I fit in?'…

## Dialogue

    October: You're judging me? You're so much better. Would you kill me if someone offered you enough money?
    Vincent: What do you want?
    October: Nothing.
    Vincent: People choose their death when they choose how they live.
    October: Does that let you sleep at night?
    Vincent: I sleep fine. I'm a weapon, I don't choose where I'm pointed.
    October: Of course, you just follow orders.
    Vincent: I'm no different than a doctor or a waiter, I serve a function.
    October: I get it. I'm in the service industry too!
    Vincent: You calling me a whore?
    October: A service provider! ... Actually I'm nothing like you. I don't have a choice. I have nothing and no one. You have money, power. You can get out of the life any time you want. You choose not to.
    October: Do you ever pray?
    Vincent: Been a long time, no one answered, I gave up.
    October: That's sad.
    Vincent: Where I come from priests and crooks, they all the same.
    October: Do you dream?
    Vincent: No.
    October: Ever think about your future?
    Vincent: No. It will come soon enough, and you?
    October: I just want out, out of the city, out of the life, with someone I can trust.
    Vincent: Trust to do what?
    October: Light a candle for me when I'm gone.

** Josiah Gilbert Holland, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 15.

# Colin Stetson

Colin Stetson (March 3, 1975–) is a Canadian-American saxophonist, multireedist, and composer.

## Quotes

* When you’re by yourself and you’re doing something that is physically quite demanding it might be almost more readily available to get to that space. People always call it out of body or you’re on autopilot, but none of those things are exactly true. You become the thing you’re making rather than the person making it. That’s a good place to be.
** Interview: Colin Stetson (June 26, 2012)
* We go through life being told by every story and bit of media that we can consume that for everybody there’s this corollary person or soulmate. And you’ll know each other and they’ll just get you and know what’s going on in your heart and mind. That terrible narrative that’s sold to us, prepackaged in every form, pretty much ruins every relationship—romantic, friendly and otherwise. The acknowledgement of the real rub of being conscious, to the degree that we are, is that no matter how much the company of others we seek, the underlying source of our discontent, and constantly looking for or describing different causes for it, is that ultimately you’re alone in your head. You’re the only thing that will ever think those thoughts. And there’s no amount of companionship, comradery or family that will ever penetrate that barrier. Your life and death, there’s a solitude to it.
** Interview: Colin Stetson (July 8, 2018)
