Marlon James
“—The problem with a book is that you never know what it’s planning to do to you until you’re too far into it.”
Marlon James, A Brief History of Seven Killings

Ichiro Kishimi
“It’s that you are disliked by someone. It is proof that you are exercising your freedom and living in freedom, and a sign that you are living in accordance with your own principles.”
Ichiro Kishimi, The Courage to Be Disliked: The Japanese Phenomenon That Shows You How to Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness

Ichiro Kishimi
“Your unhappiness cannot be blamed on your past or your environment. And it isn’t that you lack competence. You just lack courage. One might say you are lacking in the courage to be happy.”
Ichiro Kishimi, The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness

Anuk Arudpragasam
“It was strange how sometimes scenes one has never witnessed could appear before the mind’s eye more profoundly than memories from actual life,”
Anuk Arudpragasam, A Passage North

Damon Galgut
“As she starts to read, the book travels into her from a long distance, from his mind to mine, across a gap in time, and now she’s not in the room any more, she’s inside the sentences, one joined to the next like a series of tunnels, connected to each other at angles.”
Damon Galgut, The promise
