Connie Palmen
“Met dat geleuter in mijn hoofd kan ik urenlang doorgaan, het is zo ongeveer de prettigste bezigheid die ik ken. Alles in het leven zoekt een vorm om zich tot uitdrukking te brengen, meen ik, en ik ben bijna twintig en ik kan mij geen mooier leven voorstellen dan het ontcijferen van al die vormen van uitdrukkingen, met als doel ze allemaal terug te voeren tot de lichtste en zwaarste van alle dingen: de woorden. Dat is het geluk en de bevrijding, het verwoorden van alles wat daar niet eens om vraagt.”
Connie Palmen, De vriendschap

Virginia Woolf
“What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Herman de Coninck
“Droom: dat de hele mensheid bij elkaar komt, in een soort honderdduizendvoudig Feyenoord-stadion, en gezamenlijk begint te huilen van 'zie ons hier zitten'.”
Herman de Coninck, De flaptekstlezer

John  Green
“I am highly suspicious of attempts to brightside human suffering, especially suffering that—as in the case of almost all infectious diseases—is unjustly distributed. I’m not here to criticize other people’s hope, but personally, whenever I hear someone waxing poetic about the silver linings to all these clouds, I think about a wonderful poem by Clint Smith called “When people say, ‘we have made it through worse before.’” The poem begins, “all I hear is the wind slapping against the gravestones / of those who did not make it.” As in Ibn Battuta’s Damascus, the only path forward is true solidarity—not only in hope, but also in lamentation.”
John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet

Marcel Proust
“My solitude has become even more profound, and I know nothing of the sun but what your letter tells me. It has thus been a blessed messenger, and contrary to the proverb, this single swallow has made for me an entire spring.”
Marcel Proust, Letters to His Neighbor
