Jacqueline Harpman
“Even now, I like to look in the mirror. Over the years, I’ve followed the progress of the wrinkles furrowing my brow. My cheeks have grown thinner and my lips have become pale, but it’s all me and I feel a sort of fondness for the reflection in the mirror. [...] I was just over forty. That was twenty-two years ago. I suppose I am an old woman, but I still love looking at my face. I don’t know if it’s beautiful or ugly, but it is the only human face I ever see. I smile at it and receive a friendly smile back.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

“Count on Management to jam a bunch of sexual dysfunctionals together and then make sure the gender ratio is balanced. Nice of them to try and see that nobody gets left out.”
Peter Watts, Starfish

Arkady Strugatsky
“He who makes no mistakes does not exist, that is, does not work.”
Arkady Strugatsky, Roadside Picnic / Tale of the Troika

Hermann Hesse
“Der Kampf gegen den Tod, ist immer eine schöne, edle, wunderbare und ehrwürdige Sache, also auch der Kampf gegen den Krieg. Aber er ist auch immer eine hoffnungslose Donquichotterie.”
Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf

Percival Everett
“Unknown Male is a name,” the old woman said. “In a way, it’s more of a name than any of the others. A little more than life was taken from them.”
Percival Everett, The Trees
