—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The Haitian people are gentle and lovable except for their enormous and unconscious cruelty.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“There are characters which are continually creating collisions and nodes for themselves in dramas which nobody is prepared to act with them. Their susceptibilities will clash against objects that remain innocently quiet.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
