Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I love mankind, he said, "but I find to my amazement that the more I love mankind as a whole, the less I love man in particular.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Margaret Atwood
“In the midst of such rigorous and demanding splendor, who will remember Bob?”
Margaret Atwood, Stone Mattress: Nine Tales

Anthony Doerr
“Repository,” he finally says, “you know this word? A resting place. A text—a book—is a resting place for the memories of people who have lived before. A way for the memory to stay fixed after the soul has traveled on.” His eyes open very widely then, as though he peers into a great darkness. “But books, like people, die. They die in fires or floods or in the mouths of worms or at the whims of tyrants. If they are not safeguarded, they go out of the world. And when a book goes out of the world, the memory dies a second death.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Rebecca Solnit
“Perhaps walking is best imagined as an 'indicator species,' to use an ecologist's term. An indicator species signifies the health of an ecosystem, and its endangerment or diminishment can be an early warning sign of systemic trouble. Walking is an indicator species for various kinds of freedom and pleasures: free time, free and alluring space, and unhindered bodies.”
Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking

Anthony Doerr
“Some stories," she says, "can be both false and true at the same time.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land
