“When a firefly dies, they can send out a signal even after they're gone.”
Silvia Park, Luminous

“None of us can change what has happened to us, the clawed creature said. But if we are lucky, we live. If we are lucky, we do not lose more than we can afford. Much regrows. Claws, tail, teeth, even the vaporous stuff the poets call the soul. And bitter experience provides material for art. Ask a shipwreck. Ask an oyster.”
E Lily Yu, Jewel Box

“C’mon, don’t be like that.” Mungo rammed his shoulder into his.
When he did this to Jodie, she would shove him back, and soon they would be tormenting each other until whatever had first ailed them would have dissolved for a while. Mungo rammed him again. James didn’t move. Mungo felt foolish, pressed against his side. He was going to straighten himself when James shifted slightly. James raised his arm out from under the weight and draped it across Mungo’s shoulders. It made Mungo flinch in anticipation of a blow, a flick, a chokehold. But as he waited for retaliation, it slowly dawned on him that no hurt was coming. Instead of rejecting him James had made more space for him.”
Douglas Stuart, Young Mungo

“You never knew in advance if a decision was the right one. All you could do was try to imagine the future and use that to help you make up your mind in a difficult situation, and if you couldn’t imagine the future, well, you had to make up your mind anyway.”
Carys Davies, Clear

“That was how he felt: that some of the threads of himself were connected but most of them weren’t, and that he was continually on the point of joining them all together without ever managing it.”
Carys Davies, Clear
