“Who was the King? An allpowerful. A ray of light who had lit up the margins because it couldn't be any other way as long as it wasn't revealed what he was. A sad sack, a man betrayed. A single drop in the sea of men with stories. A man with no power over the terse fabric inside the artist's head. (The Artist allowed himself to feel the power of an order different from that of the Court, the skill with which he detached words from things and created his own sovereign texture and volume. A separate reality.)”
― Yuri Herrera, Trabajos del reino

“There's a certain quixotic calm to an empty school hallway.”

“On her first day at the school her mother had explained to her she was about to enter the devil's lair, filled her satchel with two hundred copies of the Watchtower, and instructed her to go do the Lord's work”
― Zadie Smith

“Every moment happens twice: inside and outside, and they are two different histories.”
― Zadie Smith, White Teeth
