Elizabeth McCracken
“She loved being alive and in the world; being alive and in the world with her was like dancing with someone who really knew how to lead.”
Elizabeth McCracken, The Hero of This Book

Rachel Cusk
“There's a certain point in life at which you realise it's no longer interesting that time goes forward - or rather, that its forward-going-ness has been the central plank of life's illusion, and that while you were waiting to see what was going to happen next, you were steadily being robbed of all you had.”
Rachel Cusk, Second Place

Susannah  Dickey
“Perhaps living contentedly is just finding pursuits that distract you from thoughts of oblivion.”
Susannah Dickey, Tennis Lessons

Sheila Heti
“It is only when you get older that everyone makes you feel bad about being alone, or implies that spending time with other people is somehow better, because it proves you to be likeable.

But being unlikeable wasn't the reason she was alone. She was alone so she could hear herself thinking. She was alone so she could hear herself living.”
Sheila Heti, Pure Colour

Elizabeth McCracken
“I've always hated the notion, in life or in fiction, that the human personality is a puzzle to be solved, that we are a single flashback away from understanding why this person is cruel to her children, why that man has a dreamy, downcast look. A human being is not a lock and the past is not a key.”
Elizabeth McCracken, The Hero of This Book
