Marlon James
“I hate when a man feels I’m obligated to disclose my marital status to somebody I don’t even know. Even this bullshit about status itself as if married and spinster are the only two choices for defining myself. Or because I’m a woman I’m supposed to have a status at all.”
Marlon James, A Brief History of Seven Killings

Kazuo Ishiguro
“As a writer, I'm more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened”
Kazuo Ishiguro

Jane Austen
“I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.”
Jane Austen, Jane Austen's Letters

Simone de Beauvoir
“One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, and compassion”
Simone de Beauvoir

Rebecca West
“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.”
Rebecca West
