Anthony Doerr
“Why can't healing happen as quickly as wounding?”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Anthony Doerr
“He should have risked more. It has taken him his whole life to accept himself, and he is surprised to understand that now that he can, he does not long for one more year, one more month: eighty-six years has been enough. In a life you accumulate so many memories, your brain constantly winnowing through them, weighing consequence, burying pain, but somehow by the time you’re this age you still end up dragging a monumental sack of memories behind you, a burden as heavy as a continent, and eventually it becomes time to take them out of the world.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Anthony Doerr
“The premier achievement of human history, they said, the triumph of memory over the obliterating forces of destruction and erasure.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Damon Galgut
“As she starts to read, the book travels into her from a long distance, from his mind to mine, across a gap in time, and now she’s not in the room any more, she’s inside the sentences, one joined to the next like a series of tunnels, connected to each other at angles.”
Damon Galgut, The promise

Damon Galgut
“Foolish old earth, returning and repeating itself, over and over. Never misses a show. How can you bear it, you ancient tart, giving the identical performance again and again, evenings and matinées, while the theatre crumbles around you, the lines in the script unchanging, to say nothing of the make-up, the costumes, the extravagant gestures … Tomorrow and tomorrow and the day after that …”
Damon Galgut, The Promise
