Jay Asher
“It's hard to be disappointed when what you expected turns out to be true.”
Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why

Irène Némirovsky
“Insomma, disse fra sé, c'è un abisso fra il giovane che vedo qui e il guerriero di domani. E' risaputo che l'essere umano è complesso, molteplice, diviso, misterioso, ma ci vogliono le guerre o i grandi rivolgimenti per constatarlo. E' lo spettacolo più appassionante e più terribile, pensò ancora; il più terribile perché è il più vero: non ci si può illudere di conoscere il mare senza averlo visto nella tempesta come nella bonaccia. Solo chi ha osservato gli uomini e le donne in un periodo come questo può dire di conoscerli - e di conoscere se stesso.”
Irène Némirovsky, Suite Française

Friedrich Nietzsche
“What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science: With a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs

Nevil Shute
“An American, a soldier of fortune by profession. Wherever there is trouble in the world the Dwights of all nations foregather. There are not very many of them, thirty or forty perhaps, and they are all supremely competent men because the others have been killed.”
Nevil Shute, Round the Bend

Kazuo Ishiguro
“Josie just says what she thinks. Doesn’t care if she says the wrong thing. That gets irritating sometimes but I love her for it.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Klara and the Sun
