Jacqueline Harpman
“Sometimes, I used to sit under the sky, on a clear night, and gaze at the stars, saying, in my croaky voice: “Lord, if you’re up there somewhere, and you aren’t too busy, come and say a few words to me, because I’m very lonely and it would make me so happy.” Nothing happened. So I reckon that humanity— which I wonder whether I belong to —really had a very vivid imagination.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Sohn Won-Pyung
“From what I understood, love was an extreme idea. A word that seemed to force something undefinable into the prison of letters. But the word was used so easily, so often. People spoke of love so casually, just to mean the slightest pleasure or thanks.”
Won-pyung Sohn, Almond

Sohn Won-Pyung
“Even though my brain was a mess, what kept my soul whole was the warmth of the hands holding mine on both sides”
Won-pyung Sohn, Almond

Sohn Won-Pyung
“Love is what makes a person human, as well as what makes a monster.”
Won-pyung Sohn, Almond

“What is the bravest thing you've ever said? asked the boy.
'Help,' said the horse.
'Asking for help isn't giving up,' said the horse. 'It's refusing to give up.”
Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
