Vladimir Nabokov
“Let all of life be an unfettered howl.”
Vladimir Nabokov

Elizabeth Bishop
“Oh, must we dream our dreams
and have them, too?”
Elizabeth Bishop, Questions of Travel

Madeleine Thien
“If you're trapped in a room, and nobody is coming to save you, what can you do? You have to bang on the walls and break the windows. You have to climb out and save yourself. It's obvious, Li-ling, that crying doesn't help a person live.”
Madeleine Thien, Do Not Say We Have Nothing

Hanya Yanagihara
“But these were days of self-fulfillment, where settling for something that was not quite your first choice of a life seemed weak-willed and ignoble. Somewhere, surrendering to what seemed to be your fate had changed from being dignified to being a sign of your own cowardice. There were times when the pressure to achieve happiness felt almost oppressive, as if happiness were something that everyone should and could attain, and that any sort of compromise in its pursuit was somehow your fault.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Madeleine Thien
“The only life that matters is in your mind. The only truth is the one that lives invisibly, that waits even after you close the book. Silence, too, is a kind of music. Silence will last.”
Madeleine Thien, Do Not Say We Have Nothing
