Rachel Cusk
“There's a certain point in life at which you realise it's no longer interesting that time goes forward – or rather, that its forward-going-ness has been the central plank of life's illusion, and that while you were waiting to see what was going to happen next, you were steadily being robbed of all you had. Language is the only thing capable of stopping the flow of time, because it exists in time, is made of time, yet it is eternal – or can be.”
Rachel Cusk, Second Place

W. Somerset Maugham
“I don’t enjoy your beauty any the less because I know how much it owes to the happy combination of perfect taste and ruthless determination”
W. Somerset Maugham, The Razor’s Edge

Rachel Cusk
“Some people write simply because they don’t know how to live in the moment and have to reconstruct it and live in it afterwards.”
Rachel Cusk, Second Place

Sally Rooney
“People are a lot more knowable than they think they are.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Joan Didion
“We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the “ideas” with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
Joan Didion, The White Album: Essays
