V.E. Schwab
“What is a person, if not the marks they leave behind?”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Niccolò Machiavelli
“Never attempt to win by force what can be won by deception.”
Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

Maggie O'Farrell
“Anyone, Eliza is thinking, who describes dying as ‘slipping away’ or ‘peaceful’ has never witnessed it happen. Death is violent, death is a struggle. The body clings to life, as ivy to a wall, and will not easily let go, will not surrender its grip without a fight.”
Maggie O'Farrell, Hamnet

Han Kang
“Is it true that human beings are fundamentally cruel? Is the experience of cruelty the only thing we share as a species? Is the dignity that we cling to nothing but self-delusion, masking from ourselves the single truth: that each one of us is capable of being reduced to an insect, a ravening beast, a lump of meat? To be degraded, slaughtered - is this the essential of humankind, one which history has confirmed as inevitable?”
Han Kang, Human Acts

Maggie O'Farrell
“time runs only one way.”
Maggie O'Farrell, Hamnet
