Han Kang
“The feeling that she had never really lived in this world caught her by surprise. It was a fact. She had never lived. Even as a child, as far back as she could remember, she had done nothing but endure. She had believed in her own inherent goodness, her humanity, and lived accordingly, never causing anyone harm. Her devotion to doing things the right way had been unflagging, all her successes had depended on it, and she would have gone on like that indefinitely. She didn't understand why, but faced with those decaying buildings and straggling grasses, she was nothing but a child who had never lived.”
Han Kang, The Vegetarian

Lucía Etxebarria
“Nadie le había enseñado a valerse por sí misma, no la prepararon para lo que se avecinaba. No, no hay culpas, sólo causas. Y una intenta enterrar el dolor, pero ese dolor se filtra a través de la tierra bajo tus pies y acaba envenando el agua que bebes y contaminando el aire que respiras, sin que tú misma sepas qué es lo que te hace sentir mal.”
Lucía Etxebarria

Caitlin Moran
“But believing in an afterlife totally negates your current existence. It´s like an insidious and destabilising mental illness.”
Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman

Ana María Matute
“¿A dónde habrían ido a parar sus horas de trabajo, sus preocupaciones pequeñas y cotidianas, sus proyectos? Aún estaban sus trajes colgados en el armario, bamboleándose cuando se abría bruscamente.¿Qué se hizo de sus recuerdos, de sus secretos? No murió sólo su cuerpo. Un cortejo de luces y sombras, de sonidos, de deseos, de color, de luchas y de recompensas terminaba con él. Se piensa a veces en la muerte. Tal vez se piensa siempre en la muerte y no se cree que pueda ser tan breve, tan simple, tan rotunda.”
Ana María Matute, Luciérnagas

Thomas Hardy
“but there was left to him a dignified calm he had never before known, and that indifference to fate which, though it often makes a villain of a man, is the basis of his sublimity when it does not.”
Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd
