Kazuo Ishiguro
“Until recently, I didn’t think that humans could choose
loneliness. That there were sometimes forces more powerful than the wish to avoid loneliness.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Klara and the Sun

R.F. Kuang
“We're here to make magic with words”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

Toshikazu Kawaguchi
“At the end of the day, whether one returns to the past or travels to the future, the present doesn't change.”
Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold

“It’s about second chances, Neil. Second, third, fourth, whatever, as long as you get at least one more than what anyone else wanted to give you.”
Nora Sakavic, The Foxhole Court

Han Kang
“The feeling that she had never really lived in this world caught her by surprise. It was a fact. She had never lived. Even as a child, as far back as she could remember, she had done nothing but endure. She had believed in her own inherent goodness, her humanity, and lived accordingly, never causing anyone harm. Her devotion to doing things the right way had been unflagging, all her successes had depended on it, and she would have gone on like that indefinitely. She didn't understand why, but faced with those decaying buildings and straggling grasses, she was nothing but a child who had never lived.”
Han Kang, The Vegetarian
