Muriel Barbery
“I may know that the world is an ugly place, I still don't want to see it.”
Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Carl Sagan
“I think the discomfort that some people feel in going to the monkey cages at the zoo is a warning sign.”
Carl Sagan, The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God

Roberto Bolaño
“Nothing happened today. And if anything did, I’d rather not talk about it, because I didn’t understand it.”
Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives

Richard Siken
“Here I am

burns. We are all just trying to be holy. My applejack,
my silent night, just mash your lips against me.
We are all going forward. None of us are going back.”
Richard Siken

Banana Yoshimoto
“That's the advantage of insomnia. People who go to be early always complain that the night is too short, but for those of us who stay up all night, it can feel as long as a lifetime. You get a lot done”
Banana Yoshimoto, N.P
