Patrick deWitt
“It occurred to him that, much in the way one experiences a brightening when walking beneath a cherry tree in bloom, so too did Klara generate and throw light.”
Patrick deWitt, Undermajordomo Minor

Ocean Vuong
“What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“The children, the veal, they stand very still because tenderness depends on how little the world touches you. To stay tender, the weight of your life cannot lean on your bones.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Rachel Cusk
“Money is a country all its own.”
Rachel Cusk

Cynan Jones
“He thinks of her sleeping now, the rest she needs, thinks of the warmth of her body, the nest-like thing she could be to his tiredness.”
Cynan Jones, The Dig
