“...the only way to be free from the fear of surveillance is to be absolutely harmless”
Claire North, The Sudden Appearance of Hope

Sally Rooney
“He knows that a lot of the literary people in college see books primarily as a way of appearing cultured, It was culture as class performance, literature fetishised for its ability to take educated people on false emotional journeys, so that they might afterwards feel superior to the uneducated people whose emotional journeys they liked to read about. Even the writer himself was a good person, and even if his book really was insightful, all books were ultimately marketed as status symbols, and all writers participated to some degree in this marketing.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Sally Rooney
“It suggests to Connell that the same imagination he used as a reader is necessary to understand real people also, and to be intimate with them.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Patricia Hampl
“But by the time you’ve worked long enough, hard enough, Real Life (which insists on being capitalized as if it were a personage with a proper name and a right to barge into this rental unit called your life) begins to reveal itself as something other than effort, other than accomplishment. Real Life wishes to be left to its own purposeless devices.”
Patricia Hampl, The Art of the Wasted Day

Sally Rooney
“... the snow keeps falling, like a ceaseless repetition of the same infinitesimally small mistake.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People
