besieged by terror about an uncertain future, and all her gestures seemed colonised by this fear…

“If we make our own meanings, God will oblige us to answer our own questions: He will leave us in the void without the comfort of his word.”
Barry Unsworth, Morality Play

Barbara Pym
“Disliking humanity in general, she was one of those excessively tender-hearted people who are greatly moved by the troubles of complete strangers, in which she sometimes imagined herself playing a noble part.”
Barbara Pym, Jane and Prudence

Sara Gran
“The older I get, the less I understand. I don't know what it would mean to be really good. I think sometimes we get caught up in trying to tell the world something about ourselves. Maybe even trying to tell ourselves about ourselves, you know, trying to keep up an idea of ourselves that we can live with. But I think something we need to stop worrying about all that and just do something. Just look for ways to help and then just try to help. Water a plant. Feed an animal. Help the people you see every day. We don't have to make some big controversy over it, or get wrapped up in some drama. We make things so complicated. All we have to do is just be a little bit better than we are, and keep heading that way. It doesn't have to feel good. You don't have to like it. And you can have your doubts about it, too. You just have to do it.”
Sara Gran, The Infinite Blacktop

“if the only part of you that you can consciously experience is your consciousness’s experience and if all of that focus is 100% turned on to the dumbest fucking bullshit you’ve ever read in your life and that’s what you’re thinking about and since you’re all thoughts all the time that’s all that you are.”
Calvin Kasulke, Several People Are Typing

“ChatGPT cannot write. Generating syntax is not the same thing as writing. Writing is an embodied act of thinking and feeling.”
John Warner, More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI
