Zadie Smith
“No fiction, no myths, no lies, no tangled webs - this is how Irie imagined her homeland. Because homeland is one of the magical fantasy words like unicorn and soul and infinity that have now passed into language.”
Zadie Smith, White Teeth

Albert Camus
“Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday; I can't be sure.”
Albert Camus, The Stranger

“We all reach a point as young adults when we wonder what we should be doing with our lives—or, at the very least, which direction to point ourselves in. Beyond the means to get by, we need to think about what’s most important to us. Not surprisingly, I discovered that for me the answer was family.”
Saroo Brierley, A Long Way Home

Kazuo Ishiguro
“An artist's concern is to capture beauty wherever he finds it.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, An Artist of the Floating World
