Book cover for Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.

“They just like taking pictures...They don't care that we are embarrassed by our dirt and torn clothing, that we would prefer they didn't do it; they just take pictures anyway, take and take.”
NoViolet Bulawayo, We Need New Names

Franz Kafka
“You are free and that is why you are lost.”
Franz Kafka, Letter to His Father

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

Jens Bjørneboe
“Og det slår meg en ting i at man uten videre godtar at en ung mann skal (og må) ha en tid hvor han lærer verden å kjenne, 'samler erfaringer', 'raser ut'... eller hva man nå vil kalle set. At han "gjør sine erfaringer" med kvinner, forutsetter at han har en partner, at man er to om det (eller minst to). Men hans partner? Herregud, hvor dypt det sitter i alle: at det som er tillatt for en ung mann, ja til og med en fordel, å ha 'verdenserfaring', det er for en tilsvarende ung pike ikke en fordel, men en skittflekk, en fornedrelse, noe som har merket henne for livet, noe som aldri mere kan vaskes av.”
Jens Bjørneboe, Uten en tråd

Franz Kafka
“In a way, I was safe writing”
Franz Kafka, Letter to His Father
