Mohsin Hamid
“It might seem odd that in cities teetering at the edge of the abyss young people still go to class—in this case an evening class on corporate identity and product branding—but that is the way of things, with cities as with life, for one moment we are pottering about our errands as usual and the next we are dying, and our eternally impending ending does not put a stop to our transient beginnings and middles until the instant when it does.”
Mohsin Hamid, Exit West

Flannery O'Connor
“The air was so quiet he could hear the broken pieces of the sun knocking in the water.”
Flannery O'Connor, A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories

Mohsin Hamid
“To love is to enter into the inevitability of one day not being able to protect what is most valuable to you.”
Mohsin Hamid, Exit West

Jesmyn Ward
“Growing up out here in the country taught me things. Taught me that after the first fat flush of life, time eats away at things: it rusts machinery, it matures animals to become hairless and featherless, and it withers plants [...] since Mama got sick, I learned pain can do that too. Can eat a person until there’s nothing but bone and skin and a thin layer of blood left. How it can eat your insides and swell you in wrong ways.”
Jesmyn Ward, Sing, Unburied, Sing

Naomi Klein
“A state of shock is produced when a story is ruptured… Trump is not a rupture at all, but rather the culmination – the logical end point – of a great many dangerous stories our culture has been telling for a very long time. That greed is good. That the market rules. That money is what matters in life. That white men are better than the rest. That the natural world is there for us to pillage. That the vulnerable deserve their fate and the one percent deserve their golden towers. That anything public or commonly held is sinister and not worth protection. That we are surrounded by danger and should only look after our own. That there is no alternative to any of this.”
Naomi Klein, No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need
