“So you haven't understood yet?" Rambert shrugged his shoulders almost
scornfully.
"Understood what?"
"The plague."

over and over again.”
― Camus, Albert

“Some things come with their own punishments. Like bedrooms with built-in cupboards. They would all learn more about punishments soon. That they came in different sizes. That some were so big they were like cupboards with built-in bedrooms. You could spend your whole life in them, wandering through dark shelving.”
― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

“What came for them? Not death. Just the end of living.”
― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things
