Paul Beatty
“Silence can be either protest or consent, but most times it’s fear.”
Paul Beatty, The Sellout

Zia Haider Rahman
“The whole thing is too abstract, continued Zafar, this business of our lives standing for something else. All we know is that we don’t want it to stand for nothing. So we dive headlong into becoming heroes, becoming the big swinging dick on Wall Street or the rock star or the hot-shot human rights lawyer. Which is about making our lives stand for something that our intelligence can grasp, saving us from confronting what we fear might be true—or what we would fear if we gave ourselves the chance—namely, that we’re accidental pieces of flesh, mutton without meaning.”
Zia Haider Rahman, In the Light of What We Know

Zia Haider Rahman
“My point is that you could think of the people you meet in your life as questions, there to help you figure out who you are, what you’re made of, and what you want. In life, as in our new version of the game, you start off not knowing the answer. It’s only when the particles rub against each other that we figure out their properties. It’s the strangest thing, this idea in quantum physics, and yet somehow unsurprising when you consider it as a metaphor. It’s when the thing interacts that its properties are revealed, even resolved.”
Zia Haider Rahman, In the Light of What We Know

Anthony Doerr
“It's embarrassingly plain how inadequate language is.”
Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

Zia Haider Rahman
“Life can only be understood backward; the trouble is, it has to be lived forward.”
Zia Haider Rahman, In the Light of What We Know
