Ottessa Moshfegh
“Did she honestly think she had the power to atone for someone else's sins, that she could exact justice with her wit, her superior thinking? People born of privilege are sometimes thus confused.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Eileen

Clive Barker
“Every love story was - at the last - a story of death; this was what the poets insisted. Why should it be any less true the other way about?”
Clive Barker, Books of Blood, Volumes Four to Six

“Oh, if only I'd known, I would have looked after her like a little puppy, taken care of her and stayed with her through her days and nights, watching over her, so that she wouldn't have to be alone, caressing and soothing her, feeding her.

Hanne Ørstavik, The Pastor

Barbara Pym
“Presumably older women shouldn't drink, she thought, or women of a certain age. But what might that age be?”
Barbara Pym, A Few Green Leaves
