“Our bodies are battlefields and temples of burials.”
― Qamar Rafiq

“Then came July like three o'clock in the afternoon, hot and listless and miserable.”
― Allie Ray, Holler

“And all the time it's raining outside and doesn't look as though it will ever stop. Doesn't worry me at all, I'm under cover and am only embarrassed to eat my opulent Gabelfrühstük in front of the house painter who at the moment is standing on the scaffolding before my windows and who, furious about the rain which has temporarily stopped and about the amount of butter I'm putting on my bread, is splashing the windows unnecessarily (which is probably also only my imagination, since he is no doubt 100 times less preoccupied with me than I with him). No, now he is really working in pouring rain and thunder.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“I felt there was no point in telling anyone anything that was happening inside of me.”
― Christa Wolf
