Fyodor Dostoevsky
“There is nothing in the world more difficult than candor, and nothing easier than flattery. If there is a hundredth of a fraction of a false note to candor, it immediately produces dissonance, and as a result, exposure. But in flattery, even if everything is false down to the last note, it is still pleasant, and people will listen not without pleasure; with coarse pleasure, perhaps, but pleasure nevertheless.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Audrey Niffenegger
“Alba, leaning against me like cold cooked pasta”
Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

Trevor Noah
“People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” What they don’t say is, “And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod.” That’s the part of the analogy that’s missing.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

Kwame Anthony Appiah
“The story (...) suggests that we can't help caring about the traditions of "the West" because they are ours: in fact, the opposite is true. They are only ours if we care about them. A culture of liberty, tolerance, and rational inquiry: that *would* be a good idea. But these values represent choices to make, not tracks laid down by a Western destiny.”
Kwame Anthony Appiah, The Lies That Bind: Rethinking Identity

Donna Tartt
“It’s awful being a child,” she said, simply, “at the mercy of other people.”
Donna Tartt, The Little Friend
