David Szalay
“There's something terrible about the way normality asserts itself. About the way that summer insists on happening. About the way the chestnuts blossom and Wimbledon takes place.”
David Szalay, Flesh

“You think it begins to diminish with time, the pain, then it comes back and hits you with a rawness and freshness you had forgotten.”
William Boyd, Any Human Heart

Kazuo Ishiguro
“But that doesn't mean to say, of course, there aren't occasions now and then - extremely desolate occasions - when you think to yourself: 'What a terrible mistake I've made with my life.' And you get to thinking about a different life, a better life you might have had. For instance, I get to thinking about a life I may have had with you, Mr. Stevens. And I suppose that's when I get angry about some trivial little thing and leave. But each time I do, I realize before long - my rightful place is with my husband. After all, there's no turning back the clock now. One can't be forever dwelling on what might have been. One should realize one has as good as most, perhaps better, and be grateful.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Brian Bilston
“you took
the last bus home
don’t know how
you got it through the door

you’re always doing amazing stuff

like the time

you caught that train”
Brian Bilston, You Took the Last Bus Home

Rick Rubin
“You can't step into the same stream twice because it's always flowing. Everything is.”
Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
