"I finally made it past the first, really dark, chapters. They were incredibly difficult to read – even though very well written – I can only imagine how difficult it was to translate and edit that section of the book. Going over the segments again and again... This is not to say that chapter Three isn't violent. It is. But in a different way. A way that allows me to continue reading, slightly less visceral." — Apr 13, 2017 05:23AM

I do not like Hardie, it was beastly what he said about Ravi being only clever. And he wrote a foolish book. Being good-looking and interesting and having the heavy-lidded gaze of a romantic tapir does not excuse writing a foolish book.
This 'tapir' thing made me laugh out loud! A little more when I got it confused with a capybara and couldn't find the quote :")
“But being the mirrors for each other's souls has a cost: by the time they part from each other, the individuals in the mating pair have become indistinguishable. Before their merger, they each yearned for the other; as they part, they part from the self. The very quality that attracted them to each other is also, inevitably, destroyed in their union.”

“The mess we are living in is a deliberate one. If it was created by people, it can be dismantled by people, and it can be rebuilt in a way that serves all, rather than a selfish, hoarding few.”

“There are many ways to say I love you in this cold, dark, silent universe, as many as the twinkling stars.”

“Many people live and die without ever confronting themselves in the darkness.”
