Carmen Maria Machado
“I took a step toward her. "It is my right to reside in my own mind. It is my right," I said. "It is my right to be unsociable and it is my right to be unpleasant to be around. Do you ever listen to yourself? This is crazy, that is crazy, everything is crazy to you. By whose measure? Well, it is my right to be crazy, as you love to say so much. I have no shame. I have felt many things in my life, but shame is not among them." The volume of my voice caused me to stand on my tiptoes. I could not remember yelling like this, ever. "You may think that I have an obligation to you but I assure you that us being thrown together in this arbitrary arrangement does not cohesion make. I have never had less of an obligation to anyone in my life, you aggressively ordinary woman.”
Carmen Maria Machado, Her Body and Other Parties: Stories

Kyung-Sook Shin
“I guess saying goodbye makes us reach out for those we would ordinarily ignore. Maybe we care about them more, too, when it is time to part.”
Kyung-Sook Shin, I'll Be Right There

Fuminori Nakamura
“We're attacking all accepted values. Authority, class differences, shared perceptions. We don't care what happens to our social structure -- revolutions are for suckers. Our target is people's collective consciousness. It's like throwing a cream pie in their face.”
Fuminori Nakamura, Evil and the Mask

Takashi Hiraide
“There's a photographer who says cat lovers always believe their own cat is better looking than anyone else's. According to her, they've all got blinders on.”
Takashi Hiraide, The Guest Cat

Steven  Rowley
“I think of how dogs are witnesses. How they are present for our most private moments, how they are there when we think of ourselves as alone. They witness our quarrels, our tears, our struggles, our fears, and all of our secret behaviors that we have to hide from our fellow humans. They witness without judgment.”
Steven Rowley, Lily and the Octopus
