Rumaan Alam
“There was no way to explain that the thing about dark is that it’s rare. There’s always some ambient light. There’s always that contrast that helps you understand: This is dark. The pricks of stars, the leak beneath the door, the glow of an appliance, something. Wasn’t its ability to assert itself, and at breakneck speed at that, light’s most remarkable quality?”
Rumaan Alam, Leave the World Behind

Jeff Vandermeer
“In the end, if you change the enemy enough, if you wear them down, perhaps losing is good enough.”
Jeff VanderMeer, Dead Astronauts

Rumaan Alam
“There are men with this much money and it’s not that they control the world. They’ve defeated it. They’ve left it. They live somewhere above the rest of us and we spend our days not knowing this because if we did we would all lose our minds.”
Rumaan Alam, Entitlement

Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
“I thought about how the world can be anything and how said it is that it's this.”
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Chain-Gang All-Stars

Kirstin Valdez Quade
“She refuses to look at La Conquistadora, the wooden statue of the Blessed Mother tucked high and snug in an opulent niche in her chapel to the left of the altar. The conquistadors brought her from Spain, hauled her around with them like a lucky charm as they invaded the peoples of the New World, and she served as a placid, unmoved witness to the violence they wrought. No wonder the Spaniards loved her so: O Conquistadora, Our Lady of the Rosary, Blessed Mother, Adoring Mother, Our Mother of Excuses and Turning a Blind Eye, Our Lady of Willful Ignorance and Boys Will Be Boys, Our Lady of Endless, Long-Suffering Hope.”
Kirstin Valdez Quade, The Five Wounds
