N.K. Jemisin
“This is a terrible thing that she is saying. It is a terrible thing that she loves herself.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Obelisk Gate

N.K. Jemisin
“No, I'm telling this wrong. After all a person is herself and others. Relationships chisel the final shape of one's being. I am me and you.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Obelisk Gate

Halldór Laxness
“People don't have the imagination to understand politicians. People are too innocent”
Halldór Laxness, The Atom Station

Jorge Luis Borges
“It is generally understood that a modern-day book may honorably be based upon an older one, especially since, as Dr. Johnson observed, no man likes owing anything to his contemporaries. The repeated but irrelevant points of congruence between Joyce's Ulysses and Homer's Odyssey continue to attract (though I shall never understand why) the dazzled admiration of critics.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones

Yuval Noah Harari
“You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
