“From your grandmother,” Henry explained. “‘Forget the negative, my darling; keep the light forever inside you.’ This very last sentence made such an impression on you that your subconscious absorbed it at the deepest, most intrinsic level; it formed and informed you, even down to the way you speak. To keep the light inside you, you effectively banish the negative . . . But from now on, Mona, you need to know how to say ‘no,’ okay?” “Yes, Dadé.”
Thomas Schlesser, Mona's Eyes: A Novel

Kathryn Stockett
“stopper,” Flossy whispered to me. When I showed no response, Ruby said, “Salami skin.” Nothing. “Lover cover?” Flossy said. “Throbbin’ hood?” She blinked at me. “Wienerhosen? Cock sock?”
Kathryn Stockett, The Calamity Club

“1974, Marina Abramović appeared in a gallery, immobile and offered to the public, and in front of her there was a table with seventy-two objects of all kinds on it—flowers, photographs, knives, and even a loaded revolver . . . People were supposed to be able to do whatever they wanted with her; she was passive as a puppet. Until the moment when someone picked up the revolver, placed her finger on the trigger, and turned the gun on herself.”
Thomas Schlesser, Mona's Eyes: A Novel

“don’t know if I believe in mistakes anymore,” I say. “I think there’s just what we choose to do about what comes next.”
Rebecca Serle, Once and Again

“and her partner, Ulay, decided to each start walking from opposite ends of the Great Wall, which is itself seen as a giant dragon by the Chinese. Ulay started from the east and Marina from the west, and they walked, walked, and walked some more until they finally met, after two thousand kilometers of exertion. There, at that junction, that meeting point, they hugged. And then they decided to split up as a couple . . . Their shared life was over. So, their reunion was,”
Thomas Schlesser, Mona's Eyes: A Novel
