Jacqueline Harpman
“Sometimes the women pitied me, saying that at least they'd known real life, and I was very jealous of them, but they died, as I am about to die, and what does having lived mean once you are no longer alive?”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Jacqueline Harpman
“I cannot mourn for what I have not known.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Margareta Magnusson
“The world is always ending, and yet it continues to survive. We must always hope for a sustainable future, but hope is not enough.”
Margareta Magnusson, The Swedish Art of Aging Exuberantly: Life Wisdom from Someone Who Will (Probably) Die Before You

“even a person raised in captivity learns to want, yearns to see beyond their cage. How much of our humanity is intrinsic? How much remains, when all else is stripped away?”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Jacqueline Harpman
“There's no continuity and the world I have come from is utterly foreign to me. I haven't heard its music, I haven't seen its painting, I haven't read its books... I know only the stony plain, wandering, and the gradual loss of hope. I am the sterile offspring of a race about which I know nothing, not even whether it has become extinct. Perhaps, somewhere, humanity is flourishing under the stars, unaware that a daughter of its blood is ending her days in silence. There is nothing we can do about it.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men
