Peter Handke
“In recent decades I had come to recognize that the overwhelming majority of two-legged creatures commonly known as "humans", whether members of the yellow, white, black, or any other race, belong to the race of unreachables. A majority, or the vast majority - impossible to define it in percentage - cannot, or perhaps never could, be reached by anyone or anything, and certainly not by me or someone like me. Nothing surprises them. Nothing makes them prick up their ears. No ray, no reflection gets through to them. These unreachables lack entirely the capacity for what was once referred to as "keeping your eyes or ears open", even when it comes to "Mother Earth", whether the natural or the human world.”
Peter Handke, The Fruit Thief: or, One-Way Journey into the Interior

Krzysztof Kieślowski
“...coldness, cynicism, distance – all these things have a common identity somewhere. And this is very characteristic of our era. I have the impression that we are increasingly cold and cynical toward each other and create ever-greater distances. I even have the impression that I can remember a time when it was warmer, and that over the fifty years of my life I have been watching us grow colder around each and every one of us. This is a trend we are witnessing and that everything in the world changes at some point. It can easily be observed and so it finds its way into the films I have made, for I have tried to depict the times in which we live. (*1995*)”
Krzysztof Kieślowski, Krzysztof Kieslowski: Interviews

Farley Mowat
“Whenever and wherever men have engaged in the mindless slaughter of animals (including other men), they have often attempted to justify their acts by attributing the most vicious or revolting qualities to those they would destroy: and the less reason there is for the slaughter, the greater the campaign of vilification.”
Farley Mowat, Never Cry Wolf

Vasily Belov
“There was something eternal, something purely Muscovite about Zuyev. It never faded or disappeared, that amazing combination of unarrogant kindness, unaffected goodwill and merry seriousness.”
Vasily Belov, The Best Is Yet to Come

Gunnhild Øyehaug
“Sometimes when you read, it's like certain sentences strike home and knock you flat. It's as if they say everything you have tried to say; or tried to do; or everything you are. As a rule, what you are is one simmering, endless longing. And that was how this sentence struck Anna Bae's consciousness, like a quivering arrow of truth.”
Gunnhild Øyehaug, Knots: Stories
