Words that can make a mark
What are the most remarkable passages you have ever read? Here are some, as shared on Reddit, that'll make you want to read again ...
1. "Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity
thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was." (Joseph Heller, Catch 22)
2. "That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less." (Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things)
3. "They wanted the real mother, the blood mother, the great womb, mother of fierce compassion, a woman large enough to hold all the pain, to carry it away. What we needed was someone who bled, someone deep and rich as a field, a wide-hipped mother, awesome, immense, women like huge soft couches, mothers coursing with blood, mothers big enough, wide enough for us to hide in, to sink down to the bottom of, mothers who would breathe for us when we could not breathe any more, who would fight for us, who would kill for us, die for us." (White Oleander, Janet Fitch)
