Charlotte  Wood
“Would it be said they were abandoned or taken, the way people said a girl was attacked, a woman was raped, this femaleness always at the centre, as if womanhood itself were the cause of these things? As if the girls somehow, through the natural way of things, did it to themselves.”
Charlotte Wood, The Natural Way of Things

Marguerite Yourcenar
“Sometimes one controls one's acts; one controls less often one's thoughts; one never controls one's dreams. I had dreams.”
Marguerite Yourcenar, Alexis o el tratado del inútil combate
tags: dreams

Jessica Au
“Maybe it's good, I said, to stop sometimes and reflect upon the things that have happened, maybe thinking about sadness can actually end up making you happy.”
Jessica Au, Cold Enough for Snow

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o
“Solomon's suitors for myrrh and frankincense; Zeu's children in a royal hunt for the seat of the sun-god of the Nile; scouts and emissaries from Genghis Khan; Arab geographers and also hunters for slaves and ivory; soul and gold merchants from Gaul and from Bismark's Germany; land-pirates and human game-hunters from Victorian and Edwardian England: they had all passed here bound for a kingdom of plenty, driven sometimes by holy zeal, sometimes by genuine thirst for knowledge and the quest for the spot where the first man's umbilical cord was buried, but more often by mercenary commercial greed and love of the wanton destruction of those with a slightly different complexion from theirs.”
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Petals of Blood

Camila Sosa Villada
“Lo que la naturaleza no te da, el infierno te lo presta. Ahí, en ese Parque contiguo al centro de la ciudad, el cuerpo de las travestis toma prestado del infierno la sustancia de su hechizo.”
Camila Sosa Villada, Las malas
