"Calling a book realistic sometimes masks the extent to which an author has to find new solutions to express people’s thought processes and emotions."
Jeffrey Eugenides, author of
The Virgin Suicides,
Middlesex and the new
Marriage Plot.
In an interview on
Newsweek’s
Daily Beast. (via

"The lover’s discourse was of an extreme solitude. The solitude was extreme because it wasn’t physical. It was extreme because you felt it while in the company of the person you loved. It was extreme because it was in your head, that most solitary of places."
