Tommy Orange
“Maxine makes me read her Indian stuff that I don’t always get. I like it, though, because when I do get it, I get it way down at that place where it hurts but feels better because you feel it, something you couldn’t feel before reading it, that makes you feel less alone, and like it’s not gonna hurt as much anymore.”
Tommy Orange, There There

Blake Crouch
“Life with a cheat code isn't life. Our existence isn't something to be engineered or optimized for the avoidance of pain. That's what it is to be human - the beauty and the pain, each meaningless without the other.”
Blake Crouch, Recursion

Sōsuke Natsukawa
“I think the power of books is that - that they teach us to care about others. It's a power that gives people courage and also supports them in turn. [. . .] Empathy - that's the power of books.”
Sōsuke Natsukawa, The Cat Who Saved Books

Han Kang
“All the same, there was something infinitely noble about how his body still bore the traces of hands that had touched it, a tangible record of having been cared for, been valued, that made me envious and sad. Mine, on the other hand, crushed out of shape beneath a tower of others, was shameful, detestable. From that moment on, I was filled with hatred for my body. Our bodies, tossed there like lumps of meat. Our filthy, rotting faces, reeking in the sun.”
Han Kang, Human Acts

Clarice Lispector
“I find it hard to believe that I shall die. Because I'm bubbling in cold freshness. My life will be very long because each instant is.”
Clarice Lispector, Água Viva
