Book cover for The Gift of the Magi
There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.

Ursula K. Le Guin
“They all know it is there, all the people of Omelas. Some of them have come to see it, others are content merely to know it is there. They all know that it has to be there. Some of them understand why, and some do not, but they all understand that their happiness, the beauty of their city, the tenderness of their friendships, the health of their children, the wisdom of their scholars, the skill of their makers, even the abundance of their harvest and the kindly weathers of their skies, depend wholly on this child's abominable misery.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

Tayari Jones
“I'm alone in a way that's more than the fact that I am the only living person within these walls. Up until now, I thought I knew what was and wasn't possible. Maybe that's what innocence is, having no way to predict the pain of the future. When something happens that eclipses the imaginable, it changes a person. It's like the difference between a raw egg and a scrambled egg. It's the same thing, but it's not the same at all. That's the best way I can put it. I look in the mirror and I know it's me, but I can't quite recognize myself.”
Tayari Jones, An American Marriage

Ursula K. Le Guin
“They leave Omelas, they walk ahead into the darkness, and they do not come back. The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness. I cannot describe it at all. It is possible that it does not exist. But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

Jokha Alharthi
“ميا تعتبر الصمت أعظم شيء يمكن للإنسان عمله، حين تصمت تستمع بشكل جيّد للآخرين وحين تملّ من كلامهم تستمع لنفسها في الصمت، لا تقول شيئًا فلا يؤذيها شيء، في أحيان كثيرة ليس لديها ما تقوله، وفي أحيان أخرى تعرف أنّها لا تريد أن تقول وحسب.”
جوخة الحارثي, Celestial Bodies

Lauren Nicolle Taylor
“Sometimes I felt like the dust. Relentlessly banging my head against the walls, never getting anywhere. Always ending up in a pile somewhere, never in a corner though. There are no corners in a round world. Sleeting across the path, searching, settling for a second then pushed along, again and again.”
Lauren Nicolle Taylor, The Woodlands
