Silvia Moreno-Garcia
“But she liked this man’s quirks and imperfections, the lack of playboy smarts coupled with a quiet intelligence.”
Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Mexican Gothic

Hildur Knútsdóttir
“Because there is nothing worse than having unexplained symptoms. Feeling like there’s something terribly wrong—but nothing that can be measured in exams, and you know the doctor thinks it’s all in your head.”
Hildur Knútsdóttir, The Night Guest

Nona Fernández
“I believe that evil is directly proportional to idiocy. I believe that the territory you roamed in anguish before you disappeared is ruled by idiots. It isn’t true that criminals are masterminds. It takes a vast amount of stupidity to assemble the parts of such grotesque, absurd, and cruel machinery. Pure brutality disguised as a masterplan. Small people, with small minds, who don’t understand the abyss of the other. They lack the language or tools for it. Empathy and compassion require a clear mind. Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, changing your skin, adopting a new face: these are all acts of genuine intelligence.”
Nona Fernández, The Twilight Zone

John   Waters
“Librarians are always smart, a little nuts, and know how to party.”
John Waters, Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder

Tara Isabella Burton
“There are things it is better for a person not to know. The day and the manner of your own death, that’s one, or whether or not you’re going to fuck your mother and kill your father. What people say behind your back. The names somebody you love has called somebody else. There’s a reason people are able to function, in this world, as social creatures, and a good part of that reason is that there are a lot of questions intelligent people don’t ask.”
Tara Isabella Burton, Social Creature
