Susanna Clarke
“May your Paths be safe, your Floors unbroken and may the House fill your eyes with Beauty.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

Emily St. John Mandel
“the problem with dropping out of the world is that the world moves on without you,”
Emily St. John Mandel, The Glass Hotel

Maggie O'Farrell
“What is given may be taken away, at any time. Cruelty and devastation wait for you around corners, inside coffers, behind doors: they can leap out at you at any time, like a thief or brigand. The trick is never to let down your guard. Never think you are safe. Never take for granted that your children's hearts beat, that they sup milk, that they draw breath, that they walk and speak and smile and argue and play. Never for a moment forget they may be gone, snatched from you, in the blink of an eye, borne away from you like thistledown.”
Maggie O'Farrell, Hamnet

Abi Daré
“My mama say education will give me a voice. I want more than just a voice, Ms. Tia. I want a louding voice,” I say. “I want to enter a room and people will hear me even before I open my mouth to be speaking. I want to live in this life and help many people so that when I grow old and die, I will still be living through the people I am helping.”
Abi Daré, The Girl with the Louding Voice

Maggie O'Farrell
“He has, Anges sees, done what any father would wish to do, to exchange his child’s suffering for his own, to take his place, to offer himself up in his child’s stead so that the boy might live.”
Maggie O'Farrell, Hamnet
