Elena Ferrante
“Love in my case is not indispensable to pleasure, nor is respect. Is it possible, therefore, that the disgust, the humiliation begin afterward, when a man subdues you and violates you at his pleasure solely because now you belong to him, love or not, respect or not?”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of a New Name

Dave Eggers
“We have advantages. We have a cushion to fall back on. This is abundance. A luxury of place and time. Something rare and wonderful. It's almost historically unprecedented. We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.”
Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

Dave Eggers
“Why did we do that to Pluto? We had it good with Pluto.”
Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

Dave Eggers
“I have no idea how people function without near-constant internal chaos. I'd lose my mind.”
Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

Elena Ferrante
“she was explaining to me that I had won nothing, that in the world there is nothing to win, that her life was full of varied and foolish adventures as much as mine, and that time simply slipped away without any meaning, and it was good just to see each other every so often to hear the mad sound of the brain of one echo in the mad sound of the brain of the other.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of a New Name
