Ottessa Moshfegh
“Oh, sleep. Nothing else could ever bring me such pleasure, such freedom, the power to feel and move and think and imagine, safe from the miseries of my waking consciousness.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Elif Shafak
“Because in real life, unlike in history books, stories come to us not in their entirety but in bits and pieces, broken segments and partial echoes, a full sentence here, a fragment there, a clue hidden in between. in life, unlike in books, we have to weave our stories out of threads as fine as the gossamer veins that run through a butterfly's wings.”
Elif Shafak, The Island of Missing Trees

Elif Shafak
“I wish I could have told him that loneliness is a human invention. Trees are never lonely. Humans think they know with certainty where there being ends and someone else's starts. With there roots tangled and caught up underground, linked to fungi and bacteria, trees harbour no such illusions. For us, everything is interconnected.”
Elif Shafak, The Island of Missing Trees

Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
“Perhaps what we’re all looking for, my dear Diary, is never truth as revelation, but rather truth as possibility, the gleam at the bottom of the mine in which we’ve been endlessly digging without a headlamp.”
Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, The Most Secret Memory of Men

Nikki Dekker
“Ik blijf maar op zoek naar metaforen, symbolen en beelden die de richting geven aan wat er allemaal gebeurt. Een structuur om een kloppend verhaal te maken van wat me is overkomen, zodat ik daarin kan leven - niet in die warrige werkelijkheid, maar in een roman, waar iemand de controle heeft. Dat ik achterover kan leunen, wachten op de volgende scène.”
Nikki Dekker, Diepdiepblauw
