  1. Chuck Palahniuk _ Survivor

    Here are the shadows left behind by a thousand moments, a thousand moods, of needs traced here on the wall by men who are gone. Here is the record of their being here.

  2. Douglas Coupland _ Life After God

    My mind then wandered. I thought of this: I thought of how every day each of us experiences a few little moments that have just a bit more resonance than other moments-we hear a word that sticks in our mind-or maybe we have a small experience that pulls us out of ourselves, if only briefly-we share a hotel elevator with a bride in her veils, say, or a stranger gives us a piece of bread to feed to the mallard ducks in the lagoon; a small child starts a conversation with us in a Dairy Queen-or we have an episode like the one I had with the M&M cars back at the Husky station. And if we were to collect these small moments in a notebook and save them over a period of months we would see certain trends emerge from our collection-certain voices would emerge that have been trying to speak through us. We would realize that we have been having another life altogether; one we didn't even know was going on inside us. And maybe this other life is more important than the one we think of as being real-this clunky day-to-day world of furniture and noise and metal. So just maybe it is these small silent moments which are the true story-making events of our lives.

  5. Samuel Beckett _ Krapp's Last Tape & Embers

    I happened to look up and there it was. All over and done with, at last. I sat on for a few moments with the ball in my hand and the dog yelping and pawing at me. {Pause.} Moments. Her moments, my moments {Pause.} The dog's moments.

  6. Samuel Beckett _ Krapp's Last Tape & Embers

    I asked her to look at me and after a few moments - {pause} - after a few moments she did, but the eyes just slits, because of the glare I bent over her to get them in the shadow and they opened. {Pause. Low} Let me in.

  7. Jodi Picoult _ Nineteen Minutes

    Do you know how there are moments when the world moves so slowly you can feel your bones shifting, your mind tumbling? When you think that no matter what happens to you for the rest of your life, you will remember every last detail of that one minute forever?

  8. Jonathan Safran Foer _ Extremely Loud and Incredibly

    But I knew the truth and that's why I was so sad. Every moment before this one depends on this one. Everything in the history of the world can be proven wrong in one moment.
