Georgi Gospodinov
“I write in the first person to make sure that I’m still alive.
I write in the third person to make sure that I’m not just a projection of my own self, that I’m three-dimensional and have a body.
Sometimes I nudge a glass and note with satisfaction that it falls and breaks. So I do still exist and cause consequences.
If no one is watching me, then I’ll have to watch myself, so as not to turn into quantum soup.”
Georgi Gospodinov, The Physics of Sorrow

Han Kang
“As though there has never been a time when the only comfort lay in the impossibility of forever.”
Han Kang, The White Book

Jean-Paul Sartre
“The flood carries you away; that’s life; we can’t judge or understand, we can only let ourselves drift.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Intimacy

Georgi Gospodinov
“I thought to myself that only now had she begun to sell her
children. When she started telling about them. Without a story, it was
all nothing but business.
Telling stories is part of Judgment Day, because it makes people understand. But what the point of understanding is remains unclear. I
put these stories in the box, too.”
Georgi Gospodinov, The Physics of Sorrow

Georgi Gospodinov
“Crying requires air, crying is a long,
audible exhalation of fear.”
Georgi Gospodinov, Физика на тъгата
