Hanya Yanagihara
“There had been periods in his twenties when he would look at his friends and feel such a pure, deep contentment that he would wish the world around them would simply cease, that none of them would have to move from that moment, when everything was in equilibrium and his affection for them was perfect. But, of course, that was never to be: a beat later, and everything shifted, and the moment quietly vanished.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Hanya Yanagihara
“The axiom of equality states that x always equals x: it assumes that if you have a conceptual thing named x, that it must always be equivalent to itself, that it has a uniqueness about it, that it is in possession of something so irreducible that we must assume it is absolutely, unchangeably equivalent to itself for all time, that its very elementalness can never be altered. But it is impossible to prove. Always, absolutes, nevers: these are the words, as much as numbers, that make up the world of mathematics. Not everyone liked the axiom of equality––Dr. Li had once called it coy and twee, a fan dance of an axiom––but he had always appreciated how elusive it was, how the beauty of the equation itself would always be frustrated by the attempts to prove it. It was the kind of axiom that could drive you mad, that could consume you, that could easily become an entire life.

But now he knows for certain how true the axiom is, because he himself––his very life––has proven it. The person I was will always be the person I am, he realizes. The context may have changed: he may be in this apartment, and he may have a job that he enjoys and that pays him well, and he may have parents and friends he loves. He may be respected; in court, he may even be feared. But fundamentally, he is the same person, a person who inspires disgust, a person meant to be hated.”

“It isn't only that he died, or how died; it is what he died believing. And so I try to be kind to everything I see, and in everything I see, I see him”

“Solo piensas en la muerte cuando te mueres, Aleksy, solo cuando te mueres, y eso es una tontería, una inmensa tontería. Porque, en lugar de todos sus sueños, la muerte es lo más probable que va a sucederle a un individuo. De hecho, lo único que le va a suceder con toda certeza. Por eso, Aleksy, no hagas nunca las cosas a lo tonto pensando que tendrás tiempo de enderezarlas, porque no lo tendrás. El tiempo de después lo utilizarás para hacer más tonterías y para morir más deprisa.”
Tatiana Țîbuleac, El verano en que mi madre tuvo los ojos verdes
