Elif Batuman
“Your atom, I think it will never go back to peace, to cereal or rocks or anything like that. Once it has been seduced there is no way back, the way is always ahead, and it is so much harder after the passage from innocence. But it does not work to pretend to be innocent anymore. That seduced atom has energies that seduce people, and those rarely get lost.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Julie Delpy
“I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.”
Julie Delpy, Before Sunrise & Before Sunset: Two Screenplays

Haruki Murakami
“Death was not the opposite of life. It was already here, within my being, it had always been here, and no struggle would permit me to forget that.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Patrick Ness
“You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.”
Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls

Jandy Nelson
“Maybe a person is just made up of a lot of people," I say. "Maybe we're accumulating these new selves all the time.”
Jandy Nelson, I'll Give You the Sun
