Georgi Gospodinov
“Do we still exist if the last person who remembers us as children has passed away?”
Georgi Gospodinov, Death and the Gardener

“Confronted as we are by the mystery of literature, and by its inenarrable power, we are behooved to discover the source of the power and mystery. And yet, finally, what can avail? The work of literature throws before us a profound veil which we cannot plumb. And we are but votaries before it, helpless in its sway. Who would have the temerity to lift that veil aside, to discover the undiscoverable, to reach the unreachable? The strongest of us are but the puniest weaklings, are but tinkling cymbals and sounding brass, before the eternal mystery.”
John Williams, Stoner

Lynda Mullaly Hunt
“And looking around the room, I remember thinking that my reading differences were like dragging a concrete block around every day, and how I felt sorry for myself. Now I realise that everyone has their own blocks to drag around. And they all feel heavy.”
Lynda Mullaly Hunt, Fish in a Tree

Michael Cunningham
“Want whatever you want more fiercely. Be more difficult and demanding. Or you’ll never make a life that uses you.”
Michael Cunningham, A Home at the End of the World

Georgi Gospodinov
“Until now I had known that Latin was a dead language.
Now I know that it is the language of death.
Death speaks Latin.”
Georgi Gospodinov, Death and the Gardener
