Elisabeth Hewer
“(That girl on the news never invited that man to touch her. All I can think about is how I wish she had had something savage coursing through her skin. God should have made girls lethal when he made monsters of men.)”
Elisabeth Hewer, Wishing for Birds

David Treuer
“American did not conquer the West through superior technology, nor did it demonstrate the advantages of democracy. American "won" the West by blood, brutality and terror.”
David Treuer, The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America from 1890 to the Present

Elif Shafak
“Azur smiled as if he were expecting these answers and said, 'The Malady of Certainty.'

Certainty was to curiosity what the sun was to the wings of Icarus. Where one shone forcefully, the other couldn't survive. With certainty came arrogance; with arrogance, blindness; with blindness, darkness; and with darkness, more certainty. This he called, the converse nature of convictions.”
Elif Shafak, Havva'nın Üç Kızı

Lorrie Moore
“His fish smells fishier than the others- he is sure of it. Perhaps he has been poisoned.”
Lorrie Moore, Birds of America: Stories

“But in fact I was like Ossie, in this one regard: I was consumed by a helpless, often furious love for a ghost. Every rock on the island, every swaying tree branch or dirty dish in our house was like a word in a a sentence that I could read about my mother. All objects and events on our island, every single thing that you could see with your eyes, were like clues that I could use to reinvent her: would our mom love this thing, would she hate it? For a second I luxuriated in a real hatred of my brother.”
Karen Russell, Swamplandia!
