“we are all different expressions of the same vulnerability and need. That’s what binds us together.”
Paul Murray, The Bee Sting

Max Porter
“The night is huge and it hurts.”
Max Porter, Shy

Nico Walker
“When you have been afraid for a long time, you see how fear will come and go. How fear will overtake you. How fear will subside. How fear guts you for a moment. How hope puts you back together, till the fear comes back. Then the hope. Then the fear. I was only ever afraid of one thing in my life, and that was heroin.”
Nico Walker, Cherry

Paul Murray
“And yet we continue not to do anything to stop it, because the things that are causing it, the things we’re doing that are making it worse – building buildings, taking planes, driving cars, eating meat, buying stuff, having children! – these are the very things that make us us. So we seem to be faced with an impossible dilemma: if we don’t want to be killed by climate change, we have to stop being ourselves. You can see why people aren’t exactly rushing to man the barricades. The thought of addressing it actually seems in some ways worse to us than being killed by it. Or put it another way, the thought of no longer being ourselves is harder for us to get our head around than the thought of being dead.”
Paul Murray, The Bee Sting

Max Porter
“He’s almost in the middle of the pond, by the little duck island. He sees the circle of his own intrusion, quietly widening.”
Max Porter, Shy
