Claire Keegan
“As they carried along and met more people Furlong did and did not know, he found himself asking was there any point in being alive without helping one another? Was it possible to carry on along through all the years, the decades, through an entire life, without once being brave enough to go against what was there and yet call yourself a Christian, and face yourself in the mirror?”
Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These

Raven Leilani
“I think of how keenly I've been wrong. I think of all the gods I have made out of feeble men.”
Raven Leilani, Luster

Raven Leilani
“I’ve made my own hunger into a practice, made everyone who passes through my life subject to a close and inappropriate reading that occasionally finds its way, often insufficiently, into paint. And when I am alone with myself, this is what I am waiting for someone to do to me, with merciless, deliberate hands, to put me down onto the canvas so that when I’m gone, there will be a record, proof that I was here.”
Raven Leilani, Luster

Ocean Vuong
“I miss you more than I remember you.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Claire Keegan
“It seemed both proper and at the same time deeply unfair that so much of life was left to chance.”
Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These
