Kazuo Ishiguro
“Sure? You say you're *sure*? Sure that you're in love. How can you know it? You think love is so simple? So you are in love. Deeply in love. Is that what you're saying to me?”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go

Sally Rooney
“Maybe we're just born to love and worry about the people we know, and to go on loving and worrying even when there are more important things we should be doing. And if that means the human species is going to die out, isn't it in a way a nice reason to die out, the nicest reason you can imagine? Because when we should have been reorganising the distribution of the world's resources and transitioning collectively to a sustainable economic model, we were worrying about sex and friendship instead. Because we loved each other too much and found each other too interesting. And I love that about humanity, and in fact it's the very reason I root for us to survive - because we are so stupid about each other.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

Kazuo Ishiguro
“I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast, and these two people in the water, trying to hold on to each other, holding as hard as they can, but in the end it's just too much. The current's too strong. They've got to let go, drift apart. That's how I think it is with us. It's a shame, Cath, because we've loved each other all our lives, but in the end, we can't stay together forever.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go

Betty Friedan
“The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own.”
Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique

Kenneth Burke
“Imagine that you enter a parlor. You come late. When you arrive, others have long preceded you, and they are engaged in a heated discussion, a discussion too heated for them to pause and tell you exactly what it is about. In fact, the discussion had already begun long before any of them got there, so that no one present is qualified to retrace for you all the steps that had gone before. You listen for a while, until you decide that you have caught the tenor of the argument; then you put in your oar. Someone answers; you answer him; another comes to your defense; another aligns himself against you... The discussion is interminable. The hour grows late, you must depart. And you do depart, with the discussion still vigorously in progress.”
Kenneth Burke
