Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“They were ironic about liking what they liked for fear of liking what they were not supposed to like. And they were unable to fear admiration and so criticized people they could simply have admired.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dream Count

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Why do we remember what we remember? Which reels from our past assert their vivid selves and which remain dim, just out of reach? I remembered some fleeting encounters so clearly that I wondered if the remembering itself was significant.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dream Count

Sylvia Plath
“I can begin to see the compulsion for admitting original sin, for adoring Hitler, for taking opium. I have long wanted to read and explore the theories of philosophy, psychology, national, religious, & primitive consciousness, but it seems now too late for anything - I am a conglomerate garbage heap of loose ends - selfish, scared, contemplating devoting the rest of my life to a cause - going naked to send clothes to the needy, escaping to a convent, into hypochondria, into religious mysticism, into the waves - anywhere, anywhere, where the burden, the terrifying hellish weight of self-responsibility and ultimate self-judgment is lifted. I can see ahead only into dark, sordid alleys, where the dregs, the sludge, the filth of my life lies, unglorified, unchanged - transfigured by nothing: no nobility, not even the illusion of a dream.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

James Baldwin
“The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other's light.”
James Baldwin, Nothing Personal

Margaret Atwood
“Despite her razor edge she's a bright light in a dim space. She breaks up the monotones.”
Margaret Atwood, Hag-Seed
