“There's a certain point in life at which you realise it's no longer interesting that time goes forward - or rather, that its forward-going-ness has been the central plank of life's illusion, and that while you were waiting to see what was going to happen next, you were steadily being robbed of all you had.”
― Rachel Cusk, Second Place

“Grief was what you owed the dead for the necessary crime of living on without them.”
― Kamila Shamsie, Home Fire

“Death was everywhere. Death was everything. Career. Desire. Dream. Poetry. Love. Youth itself. Dying became just another way of living.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness

“For the first time in her life, Tilo felt that her body had enough room to accommodate all its organs.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness
