Anna Kavan
“Instead of my world, there would soon be only ice, snow, stillness, death; no more violence, no war, no victims; nothing but frozen silence, absence of life. The ultimate achievement of mankind would be, not just self-destruction, but the destruction of all life; the transformation of the living world into a dead planet.”
Anna Kavan, Ice

Anna Kavan
“Reality had always been something of an unknown quantity to me.”
Anna Kavan, Ice

Richard Powers
“But people have no idea what time is. They think it’s a line, spinning out from three seconds behind them, then vanishing just as fast into the three seconds of fog just ahead. They can’t see that time is one spreading ring wrapped around another, outward and outward until the thinnest skin of Now depends for its being on the enormous mass of everything that has already died.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Zadie Smith
“She measured time in pages. Half an hour, to her, meant ten pages read, or fourteen, depending on the size of the type, and when you think of time in this way there isn’t time for anything else.”
Zadie Smith, Swing Time

Mary Beard
“You cannot easily fit women into a structure that is already coded as male; you have to change the structure.”
Mary Beard, Women & Power: A Manifesto
