“Perhaps that is the most powerful form of repression. When you can't say anything or you don't feel any more. Not because there is some external power or rule preventing you. But because there is something in yourself that prevents you. That makes you both the prison and the prisoner.”
Lai Wen, Tiananmen Square

Jesse Q. Sutanto
“You don't describe your job like that," Vera scolds. "Is a small job, hah! Can you see men saying that? No, men will talk it up with bullshit, that is why they get even bigger job next time. There is no such thing as 'small job.' And don't say in that silly tone, oh so apologetic, I am just silly woman having a small job. No!" Her index finger shoots up and points at Julia's face like a sword. "You go and do this job proudly.”
Jesse Q. Sutanto, Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers

Coco Mellors
“But what they don’t know is this: As long as you are alive, it is never too late to be found.”
Coco Mellors, Blue Sisters

Lev Grossman
“He looked up at the empty clouds, and as he died he wondered, not for the first time but for the very last, why it should be that we are made for a bright world, but live in a dark one.”
Lev Grossman, The Bright Sword

V.E. Schwab
“To the ones who hunger—
for love, for time, or simply to be free”
V.E. Schwab, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil
