Ernest Hemingway
“We live in a country where nothing makes any difference.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Haruki Murakami
“Of course I'd like to be prettier or smarter or rich. But I really can't imagine what would happen to me if any of those things came true. They might be more than I can handle. I still don't really know what life is all about. I don't know how it works.”
Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

Margaret Atwood
“They leap onto these young men and suck out their essence, and turn them into obedient zombies, bound to satisfy the nude dead women's unnatural cravings on demand.”
Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

Ocean Vuong
“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Javier Marías
“The next day, they put me in a black coffin and then in the hearse that took me to the cemetery. Not many people turned up. After the brief service, everyone left and I was alone. At first, I didn't like it here at all, but I'm used to it now, and I enjoy the silence. I see Esperancita once a month, and the boys every other month, and that's all: this is my life and my death, where there is nothing.”
Javier Marías, While the Women Are Sleeping
