Sonali Deraniyagala
“I will kill myself soon. But until then how do l tame my pain?”
Sonali Deraniyagala, Wave

Ray Bradbury
“(in response to the question: what do you think of e-books and Amazon’s Kindle?)

Those aren’t books. You can’t hold a computer in your hand like you can a book. A computer does not smell. There are two perfumes to a book. If a book is new, it smells great. If a book is old, it smells even better. It smells like ancient Egypt. A book has got to smell. You have to hold it in your hands and pray to it. You put it in your pocket and you walk with it. And it stays with you forever. But the computer doesn’t do that for you. I’m sorry.”
Ray Bradbury

Marcel Proust
“Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life.”
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

Joseph Brodsky
“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.”
Joseph Brodsky

Sonali Deraniyagala
“I am in the unthinkable situation that people cannot bear to contemplate.”
Sonali Deraniyagala, Wave
