""And oddly enough, I had the same feeling as I left the City of David—that I was in the presence of a violent impotence. It all felt so fake. And beholding the redemption of Eretz Israel, the ostensible homecoming of an ancient people, announced in 3D projection and accessed via zip line, I could not escape the feeling of being in the presence of a poorly wrought fairy tale and an enormous con."" 4 hours, 4 min ago

Marina Dyachenko
“But no one had ever been saved by memories, no one had been protected by words and pledges, and those loved greatly by others died too.”
Marina Dyachenko, Vita Nostra

Sally Rooney
“Her eyes fill up with tears again and she closes them. Even in memory she will find this moment unbearably intense, and she's aware of this now, while it's happening. She has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person. But now she has a new life, of which this is the first moment, and even after many years have passed she will still think: Yes, that was it, the beginning of my life.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Daniel Kehlmann
“Above us Tyll Ulenspiegel turned, slowly and carelessly—not like someone in danger but like someone looking around with curiosity. He stood with his right foot lengthwise on the rope, his left crosswise, his knees slightly bent and his fists on his hips. And all of us, looking up, suddenly understood what lightness was. We understood what life could be like for someone who really did whatever he wanted, who believed in nothing and obeyed no one; we understood what it would be like to be such a person, and we understood that we would never be such people.”
Daniel Kehlmann, Tyll

Daniel Kehlmann
“What should he do if word went around that in his throne room hung a magic picture that only the highborn could see, but he couldn't? Of course there was no picture there, it had been one of the fool's jokes, but now that the canvas hung there, it had developed its own power.”
Daniel Kehlmann, Tyll

Sally Rooney
“He knows that a lot of the literary people in college see books primarily as a way of appearing cultured, It was culture as class performance, literature fetishised for its ability to take educated people on false emotional journeys, so that they might afterwards feel superior to the uneducated people whose emotional journeys they liked to read about. Even the writer himself was a good person, and even if his book really was insightful, all books were ultimately marketed as status symbols, and all writers participated to some degree in this marketing.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People
