Kazuo Ishiguro
“Think, sir, once that breath should cease, what might be awoken across this land even after these years! Yes, we slaughtered plenty, I admit it, caring not who was strong and who weak. God may not have smiled at us, but we cleansed the land of war.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

Russell Shorto
“In asking for a relic of Descartes, the chevalier de Terlon was standing at the crossroads of the ancient and modern.”
Russell Shorto, Descartes' Bones: A Skeletal History of the Conflict Between Faith and Reason

Kazuo Ishiguro
“Earlier, outside, some fragments of a remembrance had come back to him: a small moment when he was walking down the long central corridor of the warren, his arm around one of his own children, his gait a little crouched not on account of age as it might be now, but simply because he wished to avoid hitting his head on the beams in the murky light.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

Kazuo Ishiguro
“for the most part, Axl would make sure his wife went first, for the reason that practically every fiend or evil spirit they were likely to encounter was known to target its prey at the rear of a party—in much the way, I suppose, a big cat will stalk an antelope at the back of the herd.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

Kazuo Ishiguro
“My king sent me to destroy this she-dragon not simply to build a monument to kin slain long ago. You begin to see, sir, this dragon died to make ready the way for the coming conquest.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant
