“Ik wil haar diep onder de grond stoppen en op een beter moment weer opgraven. Dat klinkt gruwelijker dan ik het bedoel.”
Femke Brockhus, Laat het stil zijn

Tanya Tagaq
“The foxes run. The foxes die. I mourn them, but I understand that there is danger in mourning for those who would not mourn for you in return. Empathy is for those who can afford it. Empathy is for the privileged. Empathy is not for Nature.”
Tanya Tagaq, Split Tooth

Niviaq Korneliussen
“It was an honour to hold your heart, but my hands are all bloody, so you'd better take it or I'm gonna have to drop this sticky heart of yours.”
Niviaq Korneliussen, Last Night in Nuuk

Rosa Montero
“Ik plofte naast haar neer. Het liep tegen de avond, de grond geurde naar warm vlees en onder mijn vingers trilden de grassprietjes. Ik keek naar doña Bárbara; langs haar wang gleed een doorzichtige, ronde traan die omgekeerd de rondheid van de wereld weerspiegelde.
‘Waarom huilt u?’ informeerde ik.
‘Omdat ik me dit alles in mijn laatste ogenblikken zal herinneren.’
Ik begreep haar niet, want hoewel ik toen al had ontdekt wat de dood betekende, was ik dat op die prachtige middag vergeten.”
Rosa Montero, Bella y oscura

Tanya Tagaq
“I mourn them, but I understand that there is danger in mourning for those who would not mourn for you in return. Empathy is for those who can afford it. Empathy is for the privileged. Empathy is not for Nature.”
Tanya Tagaq, Split Tooth
