Gabrielle Zevin
“You have had tragedy, yes, but you have had many good friends as well.
“Have I?”
“Yes, Marx and Sadie. They loved you.”
“Is two considered many?” Sam asked.
“It depends on how good the friendships are,” Dong Hyun said.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Toshikazu Kawaguchi
“Your father didn't go in that box because he wanted to. There was a reason. He had to go. If your father could see from his box and see you crying every day, what do you think he would think? I think it would make him sad. You know how much your father loved you. Don't you think it would be painful for him to see the unhappy face of someone he loved? So why don't you smile every day so that your father can smile from his box? Our smiles allow him to smile. Our happiness allows your father to be happy in his box." On hearing this explanation, Kei's eyes welled up with tears.”
Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold

“And what is love, in the end?" Alabaster said. "Except the irrational desire to put evolutionary competitiveness aside in order to ease someone else's journey through life?”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

“It was never worth worrying about someone you didn’t love. And it wasn’t love if you didn’t worry.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

R.F. Kuang
“English did not just borrow words from other languages; it was stuffed to the brim with foreign influences, a Frankenstein vernacular. And Robin found it incredible, how this country, whose citizens prided themselves so much on being better than the rest of the world, could not make it through an afternoon tea without borrowed goods.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel
