Don DeLillo

There's always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down.

People who are powerless make an open theater of violence.

I quit my job just to quit. I didn't quit my job to write fiction. I just didn't want to work anymore.

Whenever I write about immigration, I hear heart-wrenching stories of computer workers who are unemployed and facing severe hardship.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.
