Elif Batuman
“It can be really exasperating to look back at your past. What’s the matter with you? I want to ask her, my younger self, shaking her shoulder. If I did that, she would probably cry. Maybe I would cry, too.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Grief is a cruel kind of education. You learn how ungentle mourning can be, how full of anger. You learn how glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“How is it that the world keeps going, breathing in and out unchanged, while in my soul there is a permanent scattering?”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Never' has come to say. 'Never' feels so unfairly punitive. For the rest of my life, I will live with my hands outstretched for things that are no longer there.”

“It’s so rare in the world to meet somebody you connect to. Most people are so awful. In the big picture, bad breath just seems relatively manageable.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot
