John Irving
“So we dream on. Thus we invent our lives. We give ourselves a sainted mother, we make our father a hero; and someone’s older brother and someone’s older sister – they become our heroes too. We invent what we love and what we fear. There is always a brave lost brother – and a little lost sister, too. We dream on and on: the best hotel, the perfect family, the resort life. And our dreams escape us almost as vividly as we can imagine them… That’s what happens, like it or not. And because that’s what happens, this is what we need: we need a good, smart bear… Coach Bob knew it all along: you’ve got to get obsessed and stay obsessed. You have to keep passing the open windows.”
John Irving, The Hotel New Hampshire

Zofia Nałkowska
“Czy na przykład mówi kto kiedy, że jakiś mężczyzna "umie postępować z żoną"? Nie. Bo kobieta jest kimś, z kim można się dogadać, na kogo można liczyć, komu można zaufać. Ale mówi się powszechnie: "ona umie postępować z mężem". Albo: "ona nie umie postępować z mężem". Wiadomo jest, że stara Ziembiewiczowa umie, a Łucja Posztraska nie. Cóż to znaczy? To znaczy, że to są jakieś istoty, z którymi nie ma zwykłego stosunku człowieka do człowieka, istoty wrogie, nieobliczalne, pełne dzikich instynktów, tajemnicze i kłamliwe. Trzeba je za wszelką cenę odgadnąć, trzeba się przeciw nim zbroić, życie z nimi wciąż grozi niebezpieczeństwem i zgubą. Nic nie jest niewątpliwe, nic nie jest pewne - a za to możliwe jest wszystko”
Zofia Nałkowska, Granica

John Irving
“What she might have told him was that taxidermy, like sex, is a very personal subject; the manner in which we impose it on others should be discreet.”
John Irving, The Hotel New Hampshire

Roxane Gay
“Books are often far more than just books.”
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist: Essays

Roxane Gay
“To have privilege in one or more areas does not mean you are wholly privileged. Surrendering to the acceptance of privilege is difficult, but it is really all that is expected. What I remind myself, regularly, is this: the acknowledgment of my privilege is not a denial of the ways I have been and am marginalized, the ways I have suffered.”
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist: Essays
