Richard Powers
“To find the soul it is necessary to lose it. —A. R. Luria”
Richard Powers, The Echo Maker

Sally Rooney
“Not for the first time Marianne thinks cruelty does not only hurt the victim, but the perpetrator also, and maybe more deeply and more permanently.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Fredrik Backman
“Hate can be a deeply stimulating emotion. The world becomes easier to understand and much less terrifying if you divide everything and everyone into friends and enemies, we and they, good and evil. The easiest way to unite a group isn't through love, because love is hard, It makes demands. Hate is simple. So the first thing that happens in a conflict is that we choose a side, because that's easier than trying to hold two thoughts in our heads at the same time. The second thing that happens is that we seek out facts that confirm what we want to believe - comforting facts, ones that permit life to go on as normal. The third is that we dehumanize our enemy.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

David Grann
“What is gone is treasured because it was what we once were. We gather our past and present into the depths of our being and face tomorrow. We are still Osage. We live and we reach old age for our forefathers.”
David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

Anthony Doerr
“Sometimes the things we think are lost are only hidden, waiting to be rediscovered.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land
