    Tana French
    “Our entire society is based on discontent. People wanting more and more and more. Being constantly dissatisfied with their homes, their bodies, their décor, their clothes, everything – taking it for granted that that’s the whole point of life. Never to be satisfied. If you are perfectly happy with what you got, especially if what you got isn’t even all that spectacular then you’re dangerous. You’re breaking all the rules. You’re undermining the sacred economy. You’re challenging every assumption that society is built on.”
    Tana French, The Likeness

    “Sometimes I think that everyone has a tragedy waiting for them, that the people buying milk in their pajamas or picking their noses at stoplights could be only moments away from disaster.

    Pierce Brown
    “My love, my love
    Remember the cries
    When winter died for spring skies
    They roared and roared
    But we grabbed our seed
    And sowed a song
    Against their greed

    And
    Down in the vale
    Hear the reaper swing, the reaper swing
    the reaper swing
    Down in the vale
    Hear the reaper sing
    A tale of winter done

    My son, my son
    Remember the chains
    When gold ruled with iron reins
    We roared and roared
    And twisted and screamed
    For ours, a vale
    of better dreams”
    Pierce Brown, Red Rising
