Joseph Conrad
“Dark human shapes could be made out in the distance, flitting indistinctly against the gloomy border of the forest,”
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

Krishna Udayasankar
“I am death; I am this blood, these ravaged lands, and this wanton destruction.
– Panchali Draupadi”
Krishna Udayasankar, Kurukshetra

Anita Desai
“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”
Anita Desai

Richard Wright
“Whenever my environment had failed to support or nourish me, I had clutched at books...”
Richard Wright, Black Boy

“Time interacts with attention in funny ways. At one extreme, when Ruth was gripped by the compulsive mania and hyperfocus of an Internet search, the hours seemed to aggregate and swell like a wave, swallowing huge chunks of her day. At the other extreme, when her attention was disengaged and fractured, she experienced time at its most granular, wherein moments hung around like particles, diffused and suspended in standing water. There used to be a middle way, too, when her attention was focused but vast, and time felt like a limpid pool, ringed by sunlit ferns. An underground spring fed the pool from deep below, creating a gentle current of words that bubbled up, while on the surface, breezes shimmered and played.”
