Akwaeke Emezi
“Somewhere, you see, in the river of time, I am already alive.”
Akwaeke Emezi, The Death of Vivek Oji

Madeline Miller
“Have you no more memories?"
I am made of memories.
"Speak, then.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Pat Barker
“I thought: Suppose, suppose just once, once, all these centuries, the slippery gods keep their word and Achilles is granted eternal glory in return for his early death under the walls of Troy...? What will they make of us, the people of those unimaginably distant times? One thing I do know: they won't want the brutal reality of conquest and slavery. They won't want to be told about the massacres of men and boys, the enslavement of women and girls. They won't want to know we were living in a rape camp. No, they'll go for something altogether softer. A love story, perhaps? I just hope they manage to work out who the lovers were.”
Pat Barker, The Silence of the Girls

Pierce Brown
“He always thinks because I’m reading, I’m not doing anything. There is no greater plague to an introvert than the extroverted.”
Pierce Brown, Golden Son

Hannah Kent
“Some folks are born different, Nance. They are born on the outside of things, with skin a little a thinner, eyes a little keener to what goes unnoticed by most. Their hearts swallow more blood than ordinary hearts; the river runs differently for them.”
Hannah Kent, The Good People
