Sheila Heti
“There is a kind of sadness in not wanting the things that give so many other people their life’s meaning.”
Sheila Heti, Motherhood

Avni Doshi
“Morning is the time for deep breaths, and discovering, ourselves anew in our bodies”
Avni Doshi, Burnt Sugar

Kirsty Logan
“I want to know what haunts me. The ghosts that obscure my face in the mirror, that speak in my head when I’m trying to think, that pull my hands back when I try to reach out. I know there’s something; I just don’t know what it is yet.”
Kirsty Logan, Things We Say in the Dark

Daisy Johnson
“She has always known that houses are bodies and that her body is a house in more ways than most.”
Daisy Johnson, Sisters

Olga Tokarczuk
“You know what, sometimes it seems to me we're living in a world that we fabricate for ourselves. We decide what's good and what isn't, we draw maps of meanings for ourselves... And then we spend our whole lives struggling with what we have invented for ourselves. The problem is that each of us has our own version of it, so people find it hard to understand each other.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
