Katherine Rundell
“Never ignore a possible. ~Charles”
Katherine Rundell, Rooftoppers

Elif Shafak
“As cuneiform, originating under the Sumerians, is inherited by the Babylonians and Assyrians, the scribes across the region discover that words, once impressed on stone, live longer than those who have imagined them. Stories venture beyond city walls, traverse deserts and span ravines. To write is to free yourself from the constraints of place and time. If the spoken word is a trick of the gods, the written word is the triumph of humans.”
Elif Shafak, There Are Rivers in the Sky

David Szalay
“He realizes that the things that are so important to him—the things that happened, and that he saw there, the things that left him feeling that nothing would ever be the same again—they just aren’t important here. Those things have no reality here. That’s what it feels like. So it makes you feel slightly insane or something, to have those things inside you, when they seem to have no reality here.”
David Szalay, Flesh

Katherine Rundell
“You have been the great green adventure of my life. Without you my days would be unlit.”
Katherine Rundell, Rooftoppers

Claire Harman
“The thought came over me: am I to spend all the best part of my life in this wretched bondage, forcibly suppressing my rage at the idleness, the apathy and the hyperbolical & most asinine stupidity of those fat-headed oafs, and on compulsion assuming an air of kindness, patience & assiduity? Must I from day to day sit chained to this chair, prisoned with in these four bare walls, while these glorious summer suns are burning in heaven & the year is revolving in its richest glow & declaring at the close of every summer day [that] the time I am losing will never come again?”
Claire Harman, Charlotte Brontë: A Life
