Book cover for The Scarlet Letter
In our nature, however, there is a provision, alike marvellous and merciful, that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present torture, but chiefly by the pang that rankles after it.

Nicole Krauss
“She was gone, and all that was left was the space where you'd grown around her, like a tree that grows around a fence.”
Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

Jonathan Safran Foer
“I'd spent so much of my finite time on earth thinking small thoughts, feeling small feelings, walking under doors into unoccupied rooms. How many hours did I spend online, re-watching inane videos, scrutinising listings for houses I would never buy, clicking over to check for hasty e-mails from people I didn't care about? How much of myself, how many words, feelings, and actions, had I forcefully contained? I'd angled myself away from myself, by a fraction of a degree, but after so many years, finding my way back to myself required a plane.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

Jeanette Winterson
“Sanity is the thread through the labyrinth of the Minotaur. Once cut, or unravelled, all that lies in wait are gloomy tunnels unfathomable by any map, and what hides there is a beast in human form, wearing our own face.
We are what we fear.”
Jeanette Winterson, Frankissstein: A Love Story

Jonathan Safran Foer
“Despite the near-constant regret he felt about being himself, he never confused himself for the problem. The problem was the world. It was the world that didn't fit. But how much happiness has ever resulted from correcting the record on the culpability of the world?”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

Stefan Merrill Block
“There weren't words for it. It was like trying to photograph a sunset or telling the story of a dream dreamt, a private intensity, and attempts at its reproduction could only be met with a shrug.”
Stefan Merrill Block, The Story of Forgetting
