“Lezen hielp - de papieren wereld bood houvast die ik in de echte niet had. Boeken leerden me dat er een werkelijkheid was voorbij deze, wat troost bood. Perspectief. Ze lieten me zien wie ik was.”
Auke Hulst

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“In compassion and grace, be like the sun...
In concealing other's faults, be like the night...
In generosity and helping others, be like a river...
In anger and fury, be like dead...
In modesty and humility, be like the earth...
In tolerance, be like the sea...
Either appear as you are, or be as you appear..”
Rumi

“People always ask, Why does God allow suffering? Why does He allow a child to be beaten? A woman to cry? A holocaust to happen? A good dog to die painfully? Simple truth is, He wants to see for Himself what we’ll do. He’s stood up the candle, put the devil at the wick, and now He wants to see if we blow it out or let it burn down. God is suffering’s biggest spectator.”
Tiffany McDaniel, The Summer that Melted Everything

Fredrik Backman
“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Annelies Verbeke
“Tante is niet weg. De atomen die haar lichaam bij elkaar hield, zijn vrij nu. Ze hoeven niet langer samen te werken om die ene persoon in stand te houden, het is als het rafelen van een trui, steek na steek verlaat de vorm waarin hij was gevangen. En al die miljarden atomen gaan op in iets anders: het huis van een slak, een mangobloesem en haar bijen. Ze zal zich in rivieren storten en naar zee vloeien, een glad schelpje zijn op de golven, zowel als de veren van een opstijgende visarend én de wind die erdoorheen blaast.”
Annelies Verbeke, Dertig dagen
