Aleksandar Hemon
“Home is where somebody notices when you are no longer there. ”
Aleksandar Hemon, The Lazarus Project

Kapka Kassabova
“I chose to see emigration and globe-trotting as an escape, not as a loss. Nowhere to call home? No problem, the world is my oyster. Where are you from, they ask. Does it matter, I answer.
But it does. Because how can you truly know yourself, and how can you know other place and people, if you don't even know where you come from?”
Kapka Kassabova, Street without a Name: Childhood and Other Misadventures in Bulgaria

Laurent Binet
“Memory is of no use to the remembered, only to those who remember. We build ourselves with memory and console ourselves with memory.”
Laurent Binet, HHhH

Aleksandar Hemon
“There are moments in life when it is all turned inside out--what is real becomes unreal, what is unreal becomes tangible, and all your levelheaded efforts to keep a tight ontological control are rendered silly and indulgent.”
Aleksandar Hemon, The Lazarus Project

Ágota Kristóf
“I answer that I try to write true stories but that at a given point the story becomes unbearable because of it’s very truth, and then I have to change it. I tell her that I try to tell my story but all of a sudden I can’t-I don’t have the courage, it hurts too much. And so I embellish everything and describe things not as they happened but the way I wished they happened.
She says, “Yes, there are lives sadder than the saddest of books.” I say, “Yes. No book, no matter how sad, can be as sad as a life.”
Ágota Kristof, The Notebook, The Proof, The Third Lie: Three Novels
