Alex Michaelides
“And before you accuse me of telling my story in a labyrinthine manner, let me remind you this is a true story—and in real life, that’s how we communicate, isn’t it? We’re all over the place: we jump back and forth in time; slow down and expand on some moments; fast-forward through others; editing as we go, minimizing flaws and maximizing assets. We are all the unreliable narrators of our own lives.”
Alex Michaelides, The Fury

Clarice Lispector
“Que é, afinal, que eles queriam? Eles não sabiam, e usavam-se como quem se agarra em rochas menores até poder sozinho galgar a maior, a difícil e a impossível; usavam-se para se exercitarem na iniciação; usavam-se impacientes, ensaiando um com o outro o modo de bater asas para que enfim - cada um sozinho e liberto - pudesse dar o grande voo solitário que também significaria o adeus um do outro.”
Clarice Lispector, Felicidade Clandestina

Jonathan Safran Foer
“- You're not alone, she said. You only feel alone.
- To feel alone is to be alone. That's what it is.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

Jeffrey Eugenides
“People don't save other people. People save themselves.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot

Han Kang
“Life is such a strange thing, she thinks, once she has stopped laughing. Even after certain things have happened to them, no matter how awful the experience, people still go on eating and drinking, going to the toilet and washing themselves - living, in other words. And sometimes they even laugh out loud. And they probably have these same thoughts, too, and when they do it must make them cheerlessly recall all the sadness they'd briefly managed to forget.”
Han Kang, The Vegetarian
