Daniel Keyes
“That's the thing about human life--there is no control group, no way to ever know how any of us would have turned out if any variables had been changed.”
Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon

Min Jin Lee
“No one is clean. Living makes you dirty.”
Min Jin Lee, Pachinko

Aysegül Savas
“We never allowed our parents their unhappiness I said and we never allowed them their individual individuality before they were shackled to parenthood”.”
Aysegül Savas, The Anthropologists

Rebecca Solnit
“How can I tell a story we already know too well? Her name was Africa. His was France. He colonized her, exploited her, silenced her, and even decades after it was supposed to have ended, still acted with a high hand in resolving her affairs in places like Côte d'Ivoire, a name she had been given because of her export products, not her own identity.
Her name was Asia. His was Europe. Her name was silence. His was power. Her name was poverty. His was wealth. Her name was Her, but what was hers? His name was His, and he presumed everything was his, including her, and he thought be could take her without asking and without consequences. It was a very old story, though its outcome had been changing a little in recent decades. And this time around the consequences are shaking a lot of foundations, all of which clearly needed shaking.
Who would ever write a fable as obvious, as heavy-handed as the story we've been given?
...
His name was privilege, but hers was possibility. His was the same old story, but hers was a new one about the possibility of changing a story that remains unfinished, that includes all of us, that matters so much, that we will watch but also make and tell in the weeks, months, years, decades to come.”
Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me

Min Jin Lee
“Living everyday in the presence of those who refuse to acknowledge your humanity takes great courage.”
Min Jin Lee, Pachinko
