“Anyone questioning whether god exists need only consider the brevity of a dog’s life span. If there was a god, let alone a benevolent one, dogs would have life spans similar to parrots.”
Marie-Helene Bertino, Beautyland

“I HOPE IT GOES WITHOUT saying that I believe in the importance of news. Democracy depends on accurate and truthful stories. But in these times that can feel apocalyptic, as we seem to grow increasingly alienated from the world and from one another, I keep returning to the truths I find in fiction.”
Ari Shapiro, The Best Strangers in the World: Stories from a Life Spent Listening—A Poignant Journey Through Journalism, Global Connections, and Human Resilience in Today's World

Hernan Diaz
“Most of us prefer to believe we are the active subjects of our victories but only the passive objects of our defeats. We triumph, but it is not really we who fail - we are ruined by forces beyond our control.”
Hernan Diaz, Trust

“A parent can't write the end of a child's story. If she's lucky, she will never even know it.”
Yume Kitasei, The Deep Sky

Marie-Helene Bertino
“The ego of the human male is by far the most dangerous aspect of human society.

Marie-Helene Bertino, Beautyland
