“Why, is it such a bad thing to die?”—Why, is it such a bad thing to die?”
Han Kang, The Vegetarian

Hilary Mantel
“I think, if you’re going to kill a man, do it. Don’t write him a letter about it. Don’t bluster and threaten and put him on his guard.”
Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall

Hilary Mantel
“But you know the king was the most uxorious of men.”
Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall

Hilary Mantel
“but the king, alone, has no son. Whose fault is that?” “God’s?” “Nearer than God?” “The queen?” “More responsible for everything than the queen?” He can’t help a broad smile. “Yourself, Your Grace.” “Myself, My Grace. What am I going to do about it?”
Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall

Han Kang
“The saying goes that for a wound caused by a dog bite to heal you have to eat that same dog, and I did scoop up a mouthful for myself. No, in fact I ate an entire bowlful with rice. The smell of burnt flesh, which the perilla seeds couldn’t wholly mask, pricked my nose. I remember the two eyes that had watched me, while the dog was made to run on, while he vomited blood mixed with froth, and how later they had seemed to appear, flickering, on the surface of the soup. But I don’t care. I really didn’t care.”
Han Kang, The Vegetarian
