Nicole  Lyons
“I have licked the fire and danced in the ashes of every bridge I ever burned. I fear no hell from you.”
Nicole Lyons, Hush

Don Carpenter
“I consider my work optimistic in that the people, during the period I’m writing about them, are experiencing intense emotion. It is my belief that this is all there is to it.”
Don Carpenter

John   Gray
“Alone among the animals, humans seek meaning in their lives by killing and dying for the sake of nonsensical dreams.”
John Nicholas Gray, The Soul of the Marionette: A Short Inquiry into Human Freedom

Anna Kavan
“So many dreams are crowding upon me now that I can scarcely tell true from false: dreams like light imprisoned in bright mineral caves; hot, heavy dreams; ice-age dreams; dreams like machines in the head.”
Anna Kavan, Ice

Emily St. John Mandel
“No more Internet. No more social media, no more scrolling through litanies of dreams and nervous hopes and photographs of lunches, cries for help and expressions of contentment and relationship-status updates with heart icons whole or broken, plans to meet up later, pleas, complaints, desires, pictures of babies dressed as bears or peppers for Halloween. No more reading and commenting on the lives of others, and in so doing, feeling slightly less alone in the room. No more avatars.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven
