Rachel Kushner
“A blend of good and bad characterized all humans, and to pretend to sort that out was an insult to human complexity. But at the same time, Sandro understood that people only tended to allow their own contradictions, and not those of others. It was OK to be murky to yourself, to know you weren't an angel, but other people had to be more cleanly divided into good and bad.”
Rachel Kushner, The Flamethrowers

Helen Oyeyemi
“The general advice is always be yourself, be yourself, which only makes sense if you haven't got an attitude problem.”
Helen Oyeyemi, Boy, Snow, Bird

Rachel Kushner
“But since you bring it up, Didier, you know what I think of language? That it’s a fake horizon and there’s something else, a real truthful thing, but language is keeping us from it. And I think we should torture language to stop fucking around and tell it to us. We should torture language to tell the truth.”
Rachel Kushner, The Flamethrowers

“Infinity making its way into our battered little sphere of finity.”
rebecca lee, Bobcat and Other Stories

Helen Oyeyemi
“I watched wealthy men and their wives and dates dancing and playing cards and making deals: I will admire you exactly as much, no more or less, as you admire me. I will love you in the strictest moderation.”
Helen Oyeyemi, Boy, Snow, Bird
