Scott Lynch
“Yeah, but if I don't start my nervous pacing now, I'll never have it all done in time.”
Scott Lynch, The Republic of Thieves

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“I wished for one heart in which I could pour unrestrained my plaints, and by the heavenly nature of the soil blessed fruit might spring from such bad seed. Yet how could I find this? The love that is the soul of friendship is a soft spirit seldom found except when two amiable creatures are knit from early youth, or when bound by mutual suffering and pursuits; it comes to some of the elect unsought and unaware; it descends as gentle dew on chosen spots which however barren they were before become under its benign influence fertile in all sweet plants; but when desired it flies; it scoffs at the prayers of its votaries; it will bestow, but not be sought.”
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Mathilda

Tamsyn Muir
“You can’t take loved away.”
Tamsyn Muir, Nona the Ninth

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Her concern with landscapes and living creatures was passionate. This concern, feebly called, "the love of nature" seemed to Shevek to be something much broader than love. There are souls, he thought, whose umbilicus has never been cut. They never got weaned from the universe. They do not understand death as an enemy; they look forward to rotting and turning into humus. It was strange to see Takver take a leaf into her hand, or even a rock. She became an extension of it, it of her.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Marlen Haushofer
“I'd never been capable of simply nipping an anxiety in the bud. I always had to wait until it was ripe and mature and fell from me.”
Marlen Haushofer, The Wall
