“Tiny Mushroom.”
Falun Ellie Koos, Rouwdouwers

“Ik zal altijd in een hyena veranderen wanneer ik een euro op straat zie liggen. Er komt geen denken aan te pas: ik zie het blinken en ik heb mijn knokkels al aan de straat geschampt.”
Falun Ellie Koos, Rouwdouwers

“Ik kon niet geloven dat hij ooit in zijn leven gehuild had. Hij had een gezicht alsof iemand hem met een schroef in de vuist in een stuk hout had gekerfd. Onze moeder had juist nauwelijks lijnen. Ze was rond en zacht en rozig. Als een waterverfvlek per ongeluk op een papier gelekt. Steeds vager en bleker.”
Falun Ellie Koos, Rouwdouwers

“What a story is, is devious. It pretends transparency, forthrightness. It engages with ordinary people, ordinary matters, recognizable stuff. But this is all a masquerade. What good stories deal with is the horror and incomprehensibility of time, the dark encroachment of old catastrophes—which is Wallace Stevens, I think. As a form, the short story is hardly divine, though all excellent art has its mystery, its spiritual rhythm.”
Joy Williams

“She sat staring at the heavy curtains that shut out the gentle twilit garden, thinking how few things in life were un-muddled, firmly outlined as they were surely intended to be? One could organize, direct, plan each hour in advance and still the muddle persisted. Nothing in life was really water-tight, nothing secret, nothing secure.”
Joan Lindsay, Picnic at Hanging Rock

“Closure. I keep hearing that word. ... As soon as a show has a sense of closure, it gives you an excuse to forget you've seen the damn thing.”
David Lynch

“Children lose interest in their parents when they are left. They are not sentimental. They are passionate and cold. [...] They learn to pretend. And pretense becomes the most active, the realest part, alluring as dreams. It takes place of what we think is real. - pg. 11-12”
Fleur Jaeggy, S. S. Proleterka

“Omdat men zal weten dat over de mens niets te bewijzen valt, dat er van hem in doen en laten, in wezen en verschijning, in heden en verleden, nog geen schim valt te bekennen van wat hij is en is geweest.
Wij zijn niets anders dan de strandvonders van ons eigen leven, brokstukken verzamelend langs de zee der vergetelheid. In onze hand lopen wij met de verroeste spijkers van een groot, gezonken schip - en wij denken dat dit oudroest een horloge is.”
Willem Frederik Hermans, Paranoia
