Got a favorite line from a book from the last twenty-five years? (1982. Yeah, I had to do the math too. Let us never speak of it again) The New York Times is searching for people’s favorite book quotes from the last two and a half decades, to publish in their book review section at some point in the reasonably near future. If you want a part of that hot and literary action, now you know where to go.
I have not found any quotes from my books. I am abashed. I do like this one, though, posted by Raphael Pope-Sussman, from Orhan Pamuk’s Snow:
“Mankind’s greatest error,” continued the young Kurd, “the biggest deception of the past thousand years is this: to confuse poverty with stupidity.”
I was just talking about that very subject today, elsewhere. A good quote, that is.
