Yaa Gyasi
“...We humans are reckless with our bodies, reckless with our lives, for no other reason than that we want to know what would happen, what it might feel like to brush up against death, to run right up to the edge of our lives, which is, in some ways, to live fully.”
Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom

Yaa Gyasi
“Whenever I listened to his friends speak about issues like prison reform, climate change, the opioid epidemic, in the simultaneously intelligent but utterly vacuous way of people who think it's important simply to weigh in, to have an opinion, I would bristle. I would think, What is the point of all of this talk? What problems do we solve by identifying problems, circling them?”
Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom

Alice Munro
“Ja vaikka he edelleen esiintyivät minun ei kovin eroottisissa kuvitelmissani, he olivat jo poissa. Jotkut heistä, monet heistä, lopullisesti poissa.”
Alice Munro, Dear Life

Volter Kilpi
“Mutta niin suurta pulloa ei ole, ettei ihmisen jano ole vielä suurempi, jos sen valloilleen päästää, eikä laaria niin syvää, ettei nälän pitkä kieli sen pohjalautoja viimeisestä jyvästä puhtaaksi ylettyisi nuolemaan, jos sen vaan päästää mittaansa venymään, ja ihmisen ahne sydän, se on nälässään ja janossaan sitte semmoinen peto, että jos sen hellittää järjen raudoista, niin paratiisin tarhoissakin ja taivaan pitopöytien partailla se vielä kiljuisi nieltävää himonsa huutavaan kitaan!”
Volter Kilpi, Pitäjän pienempiä: saaristoväkeä arkisillaan

Yaa Gyasi
“My memories of him, though few, are mostly pleasant, but memories of people you hardly know are often permitted a kind of pleasantness in their absence. It's those who stay who are judged the harshest, simply by virtue of being around to be judged.”
Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom
